# Override an Amazon EKS MNP job definition
<a name="mnp-eks-override-eks-mnp-job-definition"></a>

Optionally, you can override the job definition details (such as changing the MNP job size or child job details). The following provides an example JSON request payload to submit a five node MNP job, and changes to the `test-eks-container-1` container’s command.

```
{
  "numNodes": 5,
  "nodePropertyOverrides": [
    {
      "targetNodes": "0:",
      "eksPropertiesOverride": {
        "podProperties": {
          "containers": [
            {
              "name": "test-eks-container-1",
              "command": [
                "sleep",
                "150"
              ]
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

To submit a job with these overrides, save the example to a local file, *eks-mnp-job-nodeoverride.json*, and use the AWS CLI to submit the job with the overrides.
