2016/09/01 - Application Auto Scaling - 7 updated api methods
{'ScalableDimension': {'ec2:spot-fleet-request:TargetCapacity'},
'ServiceNamespace': {'ec2'}}
Deletes an Application Auto Scaling scaling policy that was previously created. If you are no longer using a scaling policy, you can delete it with this operation.
Deleting a policy deletes the underlying alarm action, but does not delete the CloudWatch alarm associated with the scaling policy, even if it no longer has an associated action.
To create a new scaling policy or update an existing one, see PutScalingPolicy.

The scaling policy type.
StepScalingPolicyConfiguration (dict) --
The configuration for the step scaling policy.
AdjustmentType (string) --
The adjustment type, which specifies how the ScalingAdjustment parameter in a StepAdjustment is interpreted.
StepAdjustments (list) --
A set of adjustments that enable you to scale based on the size of the alarm breach.
(dict) --
An object representing a step adjustment for a StepScalingPolicyConfiguration. Describes an adjustment based on the difference between the value of the aggregated CloudWatch metric and the breach threshold that you've defined for the alarm.
For the following examples, suppose that you have an alarm with a breach threshold of 50:
If you want the adjustment to be triggered when the metric is greater than or equal to 50 and less than 60, specify a lower bound of 0 and an upper bound of 10.
If you want the adjustment to be triggered when the metric is greater than 40 and less than or equal to 50, specify a lower bound of -10 and an upper bound of 0.
There are a few rules for the step adjustments for your step policy:
The ranges of your step adjustments can't overlap or have a gap.
At most one step adjustment can have a null lower bound. If one step adjustment has a negative lower bound, then there must be a step adjustment with a null lower bound.
At most one step adjustment can have a null upper bound. If one step adjustment has a positive upper bound, then there must be a step adjustment with a null upper bound.
The upper and lower bound can't be null in the same step adjustment.
MetricIntervalLowerBound (float) --
The lower bound for the difference between the alarm threshold and the CloudWatch metric. If the metric value is above the breach threshold, the lower bound is inclusive (the metric must be greater than or equal to the threshold plus the lower bound). Otherwise, it is exclusive (the metric must be greater than the threshold plus the lower bound). A null value indicates negative infinity.
MetricIntervalUpperBound (float) --
The upper bound for the difference between the alarm threshold and the CloudWatch metric. If the metric value is above the breach threshold, the upper bound is exclusive (the metric must be less than the threshold plus the upper bound). Otherwise, it is inclusive (the metric must be less than or equal to the threshold plus the upper bound). A null value indicates positive infinity.
The upper bound must be greater than the lower bound.
ScalingAdjustment (integer) --
The amount by which to scale, based on the specified adjustment type. A positive value adds to the current scalable dimension while a negative number removes from the current scalable dimension.
MinAdjustmentMagnitude (integer) --
The minimum number to adjust your scalable dimension as a result of a scaling activity. If the adjustment type is PercentChangeInCapacity , the scaling policy changes the scalable dimension of the scalable target by this amount.
Cooldown (integer) --
The amount of time, in seconds, after a scaling activity completes where previous trigger-related scaling activities can influence future scaling events.
For scale out policies, while Cooldown is in effect, the capacity that has been added by the previous scale out event that initiated the Cooldown is calculated as part of the desired capacity for the next scale out. The intention is to continuously (but not excessively) scale out. For example, an alarm triggers a step scaling policy to scale out an Amazon ECS service by 2 tasks, the scaling activity completes successfully, and a Cooldown period of 5 minutes starts. During the Cooldown period, if the alarm triggers the same policy again but at a more aggressive step adjustment to scale out the service by 3 tasks, the 2 tasks that were added in the previous scale out event are considered part of that capacity and only 1 additional task is added to the desired count.
For scale in policies, the Cooldown period is used to block subsequent scale in requests until it has expired. The intention is to scale in conservatively to protect your application's availability. However, if another alarm triggers a scale out policy during the Cooldown period after a scale-in, Application Auto Scaling scales out your scalable target immediately.
MetricAggregationType (string) --
The aggregation type for the CloudWatch metrics. Valid values are Minimum , Maximum , and Average .
Alarms (list) --
The CloudWatch alarms that are associated with the scaling policy.
(dict) --
An object representing a CloudWatch alarm associated with a scaling policy.
AlarmName (string) --
The name of the alarm.
AlarmARN (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the alarm.
CreationTime (datetime) --
The Unix timestamp for when the scaling policy was created.
NextToken (string) --
The NextToken value to include in a future DescribeScalingPolicies request. When the results of a DescribeScalingPolicies request exceed MaxResults , this value can be used to retrieve the next page of results. This value is null when there are no more results to return.
{'ScalableDimension': {'ec2:spot-fleet-request:TargetCapacity'},
'ServiceNamespace': {'ec2'}}
Creates or updates a policy for an existing Application Auto Scaling scalable target. Each scalable target is identified by service namespace, a resource ID, and a scalable dimension, and a scaling policy applies to a scalable target that is identified by those three attributes. You cannot create a scaling policy without first registering a scalable target with RegisterScalableTarget.
To update an existing policy, use the existing policy name and set the parameters you want to change. Any existing parameter not changed in an update to an existing policy is not changed in this update request.
You can view the existing scaling policies for a service namespace with DescribeScalingPolicies. If you are no longer using a scaling policy, you can delete it with DeleteScalingPolicy.
