type AutoScalingGroupName:

string

param AutoScalingGroupName:

[REQUIRED]

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

type LaunchConfigurationName:

string

param LaunchConfigurationName:

The name of the launch configuration. This parameter, a launch template, a mixed instances policy, or an EC2 instance must be specified.

type LaunchTemplate:

dict

param LaunchTemplate:

The launch template to use to launch instances. This parameter, a launch configuration, a mixed instances policy, or an EC2 instance must be specified.

  • LaunchTemplateId (string) --

    The ID of the launch template. You must specify either a template ID or a template name.

  • LaunchTemplateName (string) --

    The name of the launch template. You must specify either a template name or a template ID.

  • Version (string) --

    The version number, $Latest, or $Default. If the value is $Latest, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the latest version of the launch template when launching instances. If the value is $Default, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the default version of the launch template when launching instances. The default value is $Default.

type MixedInstancesPolicy:

dict

param MixedInstancesPolicy:

The mixed instances policy to use to launch instances. This parameter, a launch template, a launch configuration, or an EC2 instance must be specified.

  • LaunchTemplate (dict) --

    The launch template and overrides.

    This parameter is required when creating an Auto Scaling group with a mixed instances policy, but is not required when updating the group.

    • LaunchTemplateSpecification (dict) --

      The launch template to use. You must specify either the launch template ID or launch template name in the request.

      • LaunchTemplateId (string) --

        The ID of the launch template. You must specify either a template ID or a template name.

      • LaunchTemplateName (string) --

        The name of the launch template. You must specify either a template name or a template ID.

      • Version (string) --

        The version number, $Latest, or $Default. If the value is $Latest, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the latest version of the launch template when launching instances. If the value is $Default, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the default version of the launch template when launching instances. The default value is $Default.

    • Overrides (list) --

      Any parameters that you specify override the same parameters in the launch template. Currently, the only supported override is instance type.

      You must specify between 2 and 20 overrides.

      • (dict) --

        Describes an override for a launch template.

        • InstanceType (string) --

          The instance type.

          For information about available instance types, see Available Instance Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

  • InstancesDistribution (dict) --

    The instances distribution to use.

    If you leave this parameter unspecified when creating the group, the default values are used.

    • OnDemandAllocationStrategy (string) --

      Indicates how to allocate instance types to fulfill On-Demand capacity.

      The only valid value is prioritized, which is also the default value. This strategy uses the order of instance types in the Overrides array of LaunchTemplate to define the launch priority of each instance type. The first instance type in the array is prioritized higher than the last. If all your On-Demand capacity cannot be fulfilled using your highest priority instance, then the Auto Scaling groups launches the remaining capacity using the second priority instance type, and so on.

    • OnDemandBaseCapacity (integer) --

      The minimum amount of the Auto Scaling group's capacity that must be fulfilled by On-Demand Instances. This base portion is provisioned first as your group scales.

      The default value is 0. If you leave this parameter set to 0, On-Demand Instances are launched as a percentage of the Auto Scaling group's desired capacity, per the OnDemandPercentageAboveBaseCapacity setting.

    • OnDemandPercentageAboveBaseCapacity (integer) --

      Controls the percentages of On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances for your additional capacity beyond OnDemandBaseCapacity.

      The range is 0–100. The default value is 100. If you leave this parameter set to 100, the percentages are 100% for On-Demand Instances and 0% for Spot Instances.

    • SpotAllocationStrategy (string) --

      Indicates how to allocate Spot capacity across Spot pools.

      The only valid value is lowest-price, which is also the default value. The Auto Scaling group selects the cheapest Spot pools and evenly allocates your Spot capacity across the number of Spot pools that you specify.

    • SpotInstancePools (integer) --

      The number of Spot pools to use to allocate your Spot capacity. The Spot pools are determined from the different instance types in the Overrides array of LaunchTemplate.

      The range is 1–20 and the default is 2.

    • SpotMaxPrice (string) --

      The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. If you leave this value blank (which is the default), the maximum Spot price is set at the On-Demand price.

type InstanceId:

string

param InstanceId:

The ID of the instance used to create a launch configuration for the group. This parameter, a launch configuration, a launch template, or a mixed instances policy must be specified.

When you specify an ID of an instance, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling creates a new launch configuration and associates it with the group. This launch configuration derives its attributes from the specified instance, except for the block device mapping.

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

type DesiredCapacity:

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. If you do not specify a desired capacity, the default is the minimum size of the group.

type DefaultCooldown:

integer

param DefaultCooldown:

The amount of time, in seconds, after a scaling activity completes before another scaling activity can start. The default is 300.

For more information, see Scaling Cooldowns in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

type AvailabilityZones:

list

param AvailabilityZones:

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:

One or more Classic Load Balancers. To specify an Application Load Balancer, use TargetGroupARNs instead.

For more information, see Using a Load Balancer With an Auto Scaling Group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

  • (string) --

type TargetGroupARNs:

list

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 Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

type HealthCheckGracePeriod:

integer

param HealthCheckGracePeriod:

The amount of time, in seconds, that Amazon EC2 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 Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

type PlacementGroup:

string

param PlacementGroup:

The name of the placement group into which to launch your instances, if any. For more information, see Placement Groups in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

type VPCZoneIdentifier:

string

param VPCZoneIdentifier:

A comma-separated list of subnet identifiers for your virtual private cloud (VPC).

If you specify subnets and Availability Zones with this call, ensure that the subnets' Availability Zones match the Availability Zones specified.

For more information, see Launching Auto Scaling Instances in a VPC in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

type TerminationPolicies:

list

param TerminationPolicies:

One or more termination policies used to select the instance to terminate. These policies are executed in the order that they are listed.

For more information, see Controlling Which Instances Auto Scaling Terminates During Scale In in the Auto Scaling User Guide.

  • (string) --

type NewInstancesProtectedFromScaleIn:

boolean

param NewInstancesProtectedFromScaleIn:

Indicates whether newly launched instances are protected from termination by Auto Scaling when scaling in.

type LifecycleHookSpecificationList:

list

param LifecycleHookSpecificationList:

One or more lifecycle hooks.

  • (dict) --

    Describes a lifecycle hook, which tells Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling that you want to perform an action whenever it launches instances or whenever it terminates instances.

    For more information, see Lifecycle Hooks in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

    • LifecycleHookName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The name of the lifecycle hook.

    • LifecycleTransition (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The state of the EC2 instance to which you want to attach the lifecycle hook. The possible values are:

      • autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_TERMINATING

    • NotificationMetadata (string) --

      Additional information that you want to include any time Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends a message to the notification target.

    • HeartbeatTimeout (integer) --

      The maximum time, in seconds, that can elapse before the lifecycle hook times out. If the lifecycle hook times out, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling performs the default action. You can prevent the lifecycle hook from timing out by calling RecordLifecycleActionHeartbeat.

    • DefaultResult (string) --

      Defines the action the Auto Scaling group should take when the lifecycle hook timeout elapses or if an unexpected failure occurs. The valid values are CONTINUE and ABANDON.

    • NotificationTargetARN (string) --

  • (dict) --

    Describes a tag for an Auto Scaling group.

    • ResourceId (string) --

      The name of the group.

    • ResourceType (string) --

      The type of resource. The only supported value is auto-scaling-group.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The tag key.

    • Value (string) --

      The tag value.

    • PropagateAtLaunch (boolean) --

      Determines whether the tag is added to new instances as they are launched in the group.

type ServiceLinkedRoleARN:

string

param ServiceLinkedRoleARN:

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the service-linked role that the Auto Scaling group uses to call other AWS services on your behalf. By default, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses a service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForAutoScaling, which it creates if it does not exist.

returns:

None

              Indicates how to allocate instance types to fulfill On-Demand capacity.

              The only valid value is prioritized, which is also the default value. This strategy uses the order of instance types in the Overrides array of LaunchTemplate to define the launch priority of each instance type. The first instance type in the array is prioritized higher than the last. If all your On-Demand capacity cannot be fulfilled using your highest priority instance, then the Auto Scaling groups launches the remaining capacity using the second priority instance type, and so on.

            • OnDemandBaseCapacity (integer) --

              The minimum amount of the Auto Scaling group's capacity that must be fulfilled by On-Demand Instances. This base portion is provisioned first as your group scales.

              The default value is 0. If you leave this parameter set to 0, On-Demand Instances are launched as a percentage of the Auto Scaling group's desired capacity, per the OnDemandPercentageAboveBaseCapacity setting.

            • OnDemandPercentageAboveBaseCapacity (integer) --

              Controls the percentages of On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances for your additional capacity beyond OnDemandBaseCapacity.

              Indicates how to allocate Spot capacity across Spot pools.

              The only valid value is lowest-price, which is also the default value. The Auto Scaling group selects the cheapest Spot pools and evenly allocates your Spot capacity across the number of Spot pools that you specify.

            • SpotInstancePools (integer) --

              The number of Spot pools to use to allocate your Spot capacity. The Spot pools are determined from the different instance types in the Overrides array of LaunchTemplate.

Updates the configuration for the specified Auto Scaling group.

The new settings take effect on any scaling activities after this call returns. Scaling activities that are currently in progress aren't affected.

To update an Auto Scaling group with a launch configuration with InstanceMonitoring set to false, you must first disable the collection of group metrics. Otherwise, you get an error. If you have previously enabled the collection of group metrics, you can disable it using DisableMetricsCollection.

Note the following:

  • If you specify a new value for MinSize without specifying a value for DesiredCapacity, and the new MinSize is larger than the current size of the group, we implicitly call SetDesiredCapacity to set the size of the group to the new value of MinSize.

  • If you specify a new value for MaxSize without specifying a value for DesiredCapacity, and the new MaxSize is smaller than the current size of the group, we implicitly call SetDesiredCapacity to set the size of the group to the new value of MaxSize.

  • All other optional parameters are left unchanged if not specified.
