    'LoadBalancerTargetGroups': [
        {
            'LoadBalancerTargetGroupARN': 'string',
            'State': 'string'
        },
    ],
    'NextToken': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Contains the output of DescribeLoadBalancerTargetGroups.

    • LoadBalancerTargetGroups (list) --

      Information about the target groups.

      • (dict) --

        Describes the state of a target group.

        If you attach a target group to an existing Auto Scaling group, the initial state is Adding . The state transitions to Added after all Auto Scaling instances are registered with the target group. If ELB health checks are enabled, the state transitions to InService after at least one Auto Scaling instance passes the health check. If EC2 health checks are enabled instead, the target group remains in the Added state.

        • LoadBalancerTargetGroupARN (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the target group.

        • State (string) --

          The state of the target group.

          • Adding - The Auto Scaling instances are being registered with the target group.

          • Added - All Auto Scaling instances are registered with the target group.

          • InService - At least one Auto Scaling instance passed an ELB health check.

          • Removing - The Auto Scaling instances are being deregistered from the target group. If connection draining is enabled, Elastic Load Balancing waits for in-flight requests to complete before deregistering the instances.

          • Removed - All Auto Scaling instances are deregistered from the target group.

    • NextToken (string) --

      The token to use when requesting the next set of items. If there are no additional items to return, the string is empty.

CreateAutoScalingGroup (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'TargetGroupARNs': ['string']}

Creates an Auto Scaling group with the specified name and attributes.

If you exceed your maximum limit of Auto Scaling groups, which by default is 20 per region, the call fails. For information about viewing and updating this limit, see DescribeAccountLimits.

For more information, see Auto Scaling Groups in the Auto Scaling User Guide .

type AutoScalingGroupName

string

param AutoScalingGroupName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the group. This name must be unique within the scope of your AWS account.

string

param LaunchConfigurationName

The name of the launch configuration. Alternatively, specify an EC2 instance instead of a launch configuration.

type InstanceId

string

param InstanceId

The ID of the instance used to create a launch configuration for the group. Alternatively, specify a launch configuration instead of an EC2 instance.

When you specify an ID of an instance, Auto Scaling creates a new launch configuration and associates it with the group. This launch configuration derives its attributes from the specified instance, with the exception of the block device mapping.

For more information, see Create an Auto Scaling Group Using an EC2 Instance in the Auto Scaling User Guide .

type MinSize

integer

param MinSize

[REQUIRED]

The minimum size of the group.

type MaxSize

integer

param MaxSize

[REQUIRED]

The maximum size of the group.

integer

param DesiredCapacity

The number of EC2 instances that should be running in the group. This number must be greater than or equal to the minimum size of the group and less than or equal to the maximum size of the group.

type DefaultCooldown

integer

param DefaultCooldown

One or more Availability Zones for the group. This parameter is optional if you specify one or more subnets.

  • (string) --

type LoadBalancerNames

list

param LoadBalancerNames

param TargetGroupARNs

The Amazon Resource Names (ARN) of the target groups.

  • (string) --

type HealthCheckType

string

param HealthCheckType

The service to use for the health checks. The valid values are EC2 and ELB .

By default, health checks use Amazon EC2 instance status checks to determine the health of an instance. For more information, see Health Checks in the Auto Scaling User Guide .

type HealthCheckGracePeriod

integer

param HealthCheckGracePeriod

The amount of time, in seconds, that Auto Scaling waits before checking the health status of an EC2 instance that has come into service. During this time, any health check failures for the instance are ignored. The default is 0.

This parameter is required if you are adding an ELB health check.

For more information, see Health Checks in the Auto Scaling User Guide .
