Grants RDP access to a Windows instance for a specified time period.
Request Syntax
client.grant_access(
InstanceId='string',
ValidForInMinutes=123
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The instance's AWS OpsWorks ID.
integer
The length of time (in minutes) that the grant is valid. When the grant expires at the end of this period, the user will no longer be able to use the credentials to log in. If the user is logged in at the time, he or she automatically will be logged out.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Contains the response to a GrantAccess request.
TemporaryCredential (dict) --
A TemporaryCredential object that contains the data needed to log in to the instance by RDP clients, such as the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.
Username (string) --
The user name.
Password (string) --
The password.
ValidForInMinutes (integer) --
The length of time (in minutes) that the grant is valid. When the grant expires, at the end of this period, the user will no longer be able to use the credentials to log in. If they are logged in at the time, they will be automatically logged out.
InstanceId (string) --
The instance's AWS OpsWorks ID.
{'LoadBasedAutoScalingConfigurations': {'DownScaling': {'Alarms': ['string']},
'UpScaling': {'Alarms': ['string']}}}
Describes load-based auto scaling configurations for specified layers.
Required Permissions: To use this action, an IAM user must have a Show, Deploy, or Manage permissions level for the stack, or an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information on user permissions, see Managing User Permissions.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Contains the response to a DescribeLoadBasedAutoScaling request.
LoadBasedAutoScalingConfigurations (list) --
An array of LoadBasedAutoScalingConfiguration objects that describe each layer's configuration.
(dict) --
Describes a layer's load-based auto scaling configuration.
LayerId (string) --
The layer ID.
Enable (boolean) --
Whether load-based auto scaling is enabled for the layer.
UpScaling (dict) --
An AutoScalingThresholds object that describes the upscaling configuration, which defines how and when AWS OpsWorks increases the number of instances.
InstanceCount (integer) --
The number of instances to add or remove when the load exceeds a threshold.
ThresholdsWaitTime (integer) --
The amount of time, in minutes, that the load must exceed a threshold before more instances are added or removed.
IgnoreMetricsTime (integer) --
The amount of time (in minutes) after a scaling event occurs that AWS OpsWorks should ignore metrics and suppress additional scaling events. For example, AWS OpsWorks adds new instances following an upscaling event but the instances won't start reducing the load until they have been booted and configured. There is no point in raising additional scaling events during that operation, which typically takes several minutes. IgnoreMetricsTime allows you to direct AWS OpsWorks to suppress scaling events long enough to get the new instances online.
CpuThreshold (float) --
The CPU utilization threshold, as a percent of the available CPU.
MemoryThreshold (float) --
The memory utilization threshold, as a percent of the available memory.
LoadThreshold (float) --
The load threshold. For more information about how load is computed, see Load (computing).
Alarms (list) --
Custom Cloudwatch auto scaling alarms, to be used as thresholds. This parameter takes a list of up to five alarm names, which are case sensitive and must be in the same region as the stack.
(string) --
DownScaling (dict) --
An AutoScalingThresholds object that describes the downscaling configuration, which defines how and when AWS OpsWorks reduces the number of instances.
InstanceCount (integer) --
The number of instances to add or remove when the load exceeds a threshold.
ThresholdsWaitTime (integer) --
The amount of time, in minutes, that the load must exceed a threshold before more instances are added or removed.
IgnoreMetricsTime (integer) --
The amount of time (in minutes) after a scaling event occurs that AWS OpsWorks should ignore metrics and suppress additional scaling events. For example, AWS OpsWorks adds new instances following an upscaling event but the instances won't start reducing the load until they have been booted and configured.

LoadThreshold (float) --
The load threshold. For more information about how load is computed, see Load (computing).
Alarms (list) --
Custom Cloudwatch auto scaling alarms, to be used as thresholds. This parameter takes a list of up to five alarm names, which are case sensitive and must be in the same region as the stack.

{'DownScaling': {'Alarms': ['string']}, 'UpScaling': {'Alarms': ['string']}}
