Application Auto Scaling

2023/03/20 - Application Auto Scaling - 3 new2 updated api methods

Changes  With this release customers can now tag their Application Auto Scaling registered targets with key-value pairs and manage IAM permissions for all the tagged resources centrally.

TagResource (new) Link ¶

Adds or edits tags on an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

Each tag consists of a tag key and a tag value, which are both case-sensitive strings. To add a tag, specify a new tag key and a tag value. To edit a tag, specify an existing tag key and a new tag value.

You can use this operation to tag an Application Auto Scaling scalable target, but you cannot tag a scaling policy or scheduled action.

You can also add tags to an Application Auto Scaling scalable target while creating it ( RegisterScalableTarget).

For general information about tags, including the format and syntax, see Tagging Amazon Web Services resources in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

Use tags to control access to a scalable target. For more information, see Tagging support for Application Auto Scaling in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide.

client.tag_resource(
    ResourceARN='string',
    Tags={
        'string': 'string'
    }
)
type ResourceARN:

string

param ResourceARN:

[REQUIRED]

Identifies the Application Auto Scaling scalable target that you want to apply tags to.

For example: arn:aws:application-autoscaling:us-east-1:123456789012:scalable-target/1234abcd56ab78cd901ef1234567890ab123

To get the ARN for a scalable target, use DescribeScalableTargets.

type Tags:

dict

param Tags:

[REQUIRED]

The tags assigned to the resource. A tag is a label that you assign to an AWS resource.

Each tag consists of a tag key and a tag value.

You cannot have more than one tag on an Application Auto Scaling scalable target with the same tag key. If you specify an existing tag key with a different tag value, Application Auto Scaling replaces the current tag value with the specified one.

For information about the rules that apply to tag keys and tag values, see User-defined tag restrictions in the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

RegisterScalableTarget (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request, response)
Request
{'Tags': {'string': 'string'}}
Response
{'ScalableTargetARN': 'string'}

Registers or updates a scalable target, which is the resource that you want to scale.

Scalable targets are uniquely identified by the combination of resource ID, scalable dimension, and namespace, which represents some capacity dimension of the underlying service.

When you register a new scalable target, you must specify values for the minimum and maximum capacity. If the specified resource is not active in the target service, this operation does not change the resource's current capacity. Otherwise, it changes the resource's current capacity to a value that is inside of this range.

If you add a scaling policy, current capacity is adjustable within the specified range when scaling starts. Application Auto Scaling scaling policies will not scale capacity to values that are outside of the minimum and maximum range.

After you register a scalable target, you do not need to register it again to use other Application Auto Scaling operations. To see which resources have been registered, use DescribeScalableTargets. You can also view the scaling policies for a service namespace by using DescribeScalableTargets. If you no longer need a scalable target, you can deregister it by using DeregisterScalableTarget.

To update a scalable target, specify the parameters that you want to change. Include the parameters that identify the scalable target: resource ID, scalable dimension, and namespace. Any parameters that you don't specify are not changed by this update request.

type MinCapacity:

integer

param MinCapacity:

The minimum value that you plan to scale in to. When a scaling policy is in effect, Application Auto Scaling can scale in (contract) as needed to the minimum capacity limit in response to changing demand. This property is required when registering a new scalable target.

For the following resources, the minimum value allowed is 0.

  • AppStream 2.0 fleets

  • Aurora DB clusters

  • ECS services

  • EMR clusters

  • Lambda provisioned concurrency

  • SageMaker endpoint variants

  • Spot Fleets

  • custom resources

It's strongly recommended that you specify a value greater than 0. A value greater than 0 means that data points are continuously reported to CloudWatch that scaling policies can use to scale on a metric like average CPU utilization.

For all other resources, the minimum allowed value depends on the type of resource that you are using. If you provide a value that is lower than what a resource can accept, an error occurs. In which case, the error message will provide the minimum value that the resource can accept.

type MaxCapacity:

integer

param MaxCapacity:

The maximum value that you plan to scale out to. When a scaling policy is in effect, Application Auto Scaling can scale out (expand) as needed to the maximum capacity limit in response to changing demand. This property is required when registering a new scalable target.

Although you can specify a large maximum capacity, note that service quotas might impose lower limits. Each service has its own default quotas for the maximum capacity of the resource. If you want to specify a higher limit, you can request an increase. For more information, consult the documentation for that service. For information about the default quotas for each service, see Service endpoints and quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

type RoleARN:

string

param RoleARN:

This parameter is required for services that do not support service-linked roles (such as Amazon EMR), and it must specify the ARN of an IAM role that allows Application Auto Scaling to modify the scalable target on your behalf.

If the service supports service-linked roles, Application Auto Scaling uses a service-linked role, which it creates if it does not yet exist. For more information, see Application Auto Scaling IAM roles.

type SuspendedState:

dict

param SuspendedState:

An embedded object that contains attributes and attribute values that are used to suspend and resume automatic scaling. Setting the value of an attribute to true suspends the specified scaling activities. Setting it to false (default) resumes the specified scaling activities.

Suspension Outcomes

  • For DynamicScalingInSuspended, while a suspension is in effect, all scale-in activities that are triggered by a scaling policy are suspended.

  • For DynamicScalingOutSuspended, while a suspension is in effect, all scale-out activities that are triggered by a scaling policy are suspended.

  • For ScheduledScalingSuspended, while a suspension is in effect, all scaling activities that involve scheduled actions are suspended.

For more information, see Suspending and resuming scaling in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide.

  • DynamicScalingInSuspended (boolean) --

    Whether scale in by a target tracking scaling policy or a step scaling policy is suspended. Set the value to true if you don't want Application Auto Scaling to remove capacity when a scaling policy is triggered. The default is false.

  • DynamicScalingOutSuspended (boolean) --

    Whether scale out by a target tracking scaling policy or a step scaling policy is suspended. Set the value to true if you don't want Application Auto Scaling to add capacity when a scaling policy is triggered. The default is false.

  • ScheduledScalingSuspended (boolean) --

    Whether scheduled scaling is suspended. Set the value to true if you don't want Application Auto Scaling to add or remove capacity by initiating scheduled actions. The default is false.

type Tags:

dict

param Tags:

Assigns one or more tags to the scalable target. Use this parameter to tag the scalable target when it is created. To tag an existing scalable target, use the TagResource operation.

Each tag consists of a tag key and a tag value. Both the tag key and the tag value are required. You cannot have more than one tag on a scalable target with the same tag key.

Use tags to control access to a scalable target. For more information, see Tagging support for Application Auto Scaling in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide.
