                    'UtilizationMetricsEbsWriteBytesPerSecondMaximum',
                    'UtilizationMetricsEbsWriteOpsPerSecondMaximum'}}

Exports optimization recommendations for Auto Scaling groups.

Recommendations are exported in a comma-separated values (.csv) file, and its metadata in a JavaScript Object Notation (.json) file, to an existing Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket that you specify. For more information, see Exporting Recommendations in the Compute Optimizer User Guide .

You can have only one Auto Scaling group export job in progress per AWS Region.

          Findings for instances include:

          • Underprovisioned —An instance is considered under-provisioned when at least one specification of your instance, such as CPU, memory, or network, does not meet the performance requirements of your workload. Under-provisioned instances may lead to poor application performance.

          • Overprovisioned —An instance is considered over-provisioned when at least one specification of your instance, such as CPU, memory, or network, can be sized down while still meeting the performance requirements of your workload, and no specification is under-provisioned. Over-provisioned instances may lead to unnecessary infrastructure cost.

          • Optimized —An instance is considered optimized when all specifications of your instance, such as CPU, memory, and network, meet the performance requirements of your workload and is not over provisioned. An optimized instance runs your workloads with optimal performance and infrastructure cost. For optimized resources, AWS Compute Optimizer might recommend a new generation instance type.
