2024/10/31 - Auto Scaling - 2 updated api methods
Changes Adds bake time for Auto Scaling group Instance Refresh
{'InstanceRefreshes': {'Preferences': {'BakeTime': 'integer'},
'Status': {'Baking'}}}
Gets information about the instance refreshes for the specified Auto Scaling group from the previous six weeks.
This operation is part of the instance refresh feature in Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, which helps you update instances in your Auto Scaling group after you make configuration changes.
To help you determine the status of an instance refresh, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling returns information about the instance refreshes you previously initiated, including their status, start time, end time, the percentage of the instance refresh that is complete, and the number of instances remaining to update before the instance refresh is complete. If a rollback is initiated while an instance refresh is in progress, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling also returns information about the rollback of the instance refresh.

StatusReason (string) --
The explanation for the specific status assigned to this operation.
StartTime (datetime) --
The date and time at which the instance refresh began.
EndTime (datetime) --
The date and time at which the instance refresh ended.
PercentageComplete (integer) --
The percentage of the instance refresh that is complete. For each instance replacement, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling tracks the instance's health status and warm-up time. When the instance's health status changes to healthy and the specified warm-up time passes, the instance is considered updated and is added to the percentage complete.
InstancesToUpdate (integer) --
The number of instances remaining to update before the instance refresh is complete.
ProgressDetails (dict) --
Additional progress details for an Auto Scaling group that has a warm pool.
LivePoolProgress (dict) --
Reports progress on replacing instances that are in the Auto Scaling group.
PercentageComplete (integer) --
The percentage of instances in the Auto Scaling group that have been replaced. For each instance replacement, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling tracks the instance's health status and warm-up time. When the instance's health status changes to healthy and the specified warm-up time passes, the instance is considered updated and is added to the percentage complete.
InstancesToUpdate (integer) --
The number of instances remaining to update.
WarmPoolProgress (dict) --
Reports progress on replacing instances that are in the warm pool.
PercentageComplete (integer) --
The percentage of instances in the warm pool that have been replaced. For each instance replacement, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling tracks the instance's health status and warm-up time. When the instance's health status changes to healthy and the specified warm-up time passes, the instance is considered updated and is added to the percentage complete.
InstancesToUpdate (integer) --
The number of instances remaining to update.
Preferences (dict) --
The preferences for an instance refresh.
MinHealthyPercentage (integer) --
Specifies the minimum percentage of the group to keep in service, healthy, and ready to use to support your workload to allow the operation to continue. The value is expressed as a percentage of the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group. Value range is 0 to 100.
If you do not specify this property, the default is 90 percent, or the percentage set in the instance maintenance policy for the Auto Scaling group, if defined.
InstanceWarmup (integer) --
A time period, in seconds, during which an instance refresh waits before moving on to replacing the next instance after a new instance enters the InService state.
This property is not required for normal usage. Instead, use the DefaultInstanceWarmup property of the Auto Scaling group. The InstanceWarmup and DefaultInstanceWarmup properties work the same way. Only specify this property if you must override the DefaultInstanceWarmup property.
If you do not specify this property, the instance warmup by default is the value of the DefaultInstanceWarmup property, if defined (which is recommended in all cases), or the HealthCheckGracePeriod property otherwise.
CheckpointPercentages (list) --
(Optional) Threshold values for each checkpoint in ascending order. Each number must be unique. To replace all instances in the Auto Scaling group, the last number in the array must be 100.
For usage examples, see Add checkpoints to an instance refresh in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
(integer) --
CheckpointDelay (integer) --
(Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait after a checkpoint before continuing. This property is optional, but if you specify a value for it, you must also specify a value for CheckpointPercentages. If you specify a value for CheckpointPercentages and not for CheckpointDelay, the CheckpointDelay defaults to 3600 (1 hour).
SkipMatching (boolean) --
(Optional) Indicates whether skip matching is enabled. If enabled ( true), then Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling skips replacing instances that match the desired configuration. If no desired configuration is specified, then it skips replacing instances that have the same launch template and instance types that the Auto Scaling group was using before the start of the instance refresh. The default is false.
For more information, see Use an instance refresh with skip matching in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
AutoRollback (boolean) --
(Optional) Indicates whether to roll back the Auto Scaling group to its previous configuration if the instance refresh fails or a CloudWatch alarm threshold is met. The default is false.
A rollback is not supported in the following situations:
There is no desired configuration specified for the instance refresh.
The Auto Scaling group has a launch template that uses an Amazon Web Services Systems Manager parameter instead of an AMI ID for the ImageId property.
The Auto Scaling group uses the launch template's $Latest or $Default version.
For more information, see Undo changes with a rollback in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
ScaleInProtectedInstances (string) --
Choose the behavior that you want Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to use if instances protected from scale in are found.
The following lists the valid values:
Refresh
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling replaces instances that are protected from scale in.
Ignore
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling ignores instances that are protected from scale in and continues to replace instances that are not protected.
Wait (default)
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling waits one hour for you to remove scale-in protection. Otherwise, the instance refresh will fail.
StandbyInstances (string) --
Choose the behavior that you want Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to use if instances in Standby state are found.
The following lists the valid values:
Terminate
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling terminates instances that are in Standby.
Ignore
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling ignores instances that are in Standby and continues to replace instances that are in the InService state.
Wait (default)
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling waits one hour for you to return the instances to service. Otherwise, the instance refresh will fail.
AlarmSpecification (dict) --
(Optional) The CloudWatch alarm specification. CloudWatch alarms can be used to identify any issues and fail the operation if an alarm threshold is met.
Alarms (list) --
The names of one or more CloudWatch alarms to monitor for the instance refresh. You can specify up to 10 alarms.
(string) --
MaxHealthyPercentage (integer) --
Specifies the maximum percentage of the group that can be in service and healthy, or pending, to support your workload when replacing instances. The value is expressed as a percentage of the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group. Value range is 100 to 200.
If you specify MaxHealthyPercentage, you must also specify MinHealthyPercentage, and the difference between them cannot be greater than 100. A larger range increases the number of instances that can be replaced at the same time.
If you do not specify this property, the default is 100 percent, or the percentage set in the instance maintenance policy for the Auto Scaling group, if defined.
BakeTime (integer) --
The amount of time, in seconds, to wait at the end of an instance refresh before the instance refresh is considered complete.
DesiredConfiguration (dict) --
Describes the desired configuration for the instance refresh.
LaunchTemplate (dict) --
Describes the launch template and the version of the launch template that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses to launch Amazon EC2 instances. For more information about launch templates, see Launch templates in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
LaunchTemplateId (string) --
The ID of the launch template. To get the template ID, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
LaunchTemplateName (string) --
The name of the launch template. To get the template name, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
Version (string) --
The version number, $Latest, or $Default. To get the version number, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplateVersions API operation. New launch template versions can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplateVersion API. 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.
MixedInstancesPolicy (dict) --
Use this structure to launch multiple instance types and On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances within a single Auto Scaling group.
A mixed instances policy contains information that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can use to launch instances and help optimize your costs. For more information, see Auto Scaling groups with multiple instance types and purchase options in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
LaunchTemplate (dict) --
One or more launch templates and the instance types (overrides) that are used to launch EC2 instances to fulfill On-Demand and Spot capacities.
LaunchTemplateSpecification (dict) --
The launch template.
LaunchTemplateId (string) --
The ID of the launch template. To get the template ID, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
LaunchTemplateName (string) --
The name of the launch template. To get the template name, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
Version (string) --
The version number, $Latest, or $Default. To get the version number, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplateVersions API operation. New launch template versions can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplateVersion API. 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 properties that you specify override the same properties in the launch template.
(dict) --
Use this structure to let Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling do the following when the Auto Scaling group has a mixed instances policy:
Override the instance type that is specified in the launch template.
Use multiple instance types.
Specify the instance types that you want, or define your instance requirements instead and let Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling provision the available instance types that meet your requirements. This can provide Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling with a larger selection of instance types to choose from when fulfilling Spot and On-Demand capacities. You can view which instance types are matched before you apply the instance requirements to your Auto Scaling group.
After you define your instance requirements, you don't have to keep updating these settings to get new EC2 instance types automatically. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the instance requirements of the Auto Scaling group to determine whether a new EC2 instance type can be used.
InstanceType (string) --
The instance type, such as m3.xlarge. You must specify an instance type that is supported in your requested Region and Availability Zones. For more information, see Instance types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.
You can specify up to 40 instance types per Auto Scaling group.
WeightedCapacity (string) --
If you provide a list of instance types to use, you can specify the number of capacity units provided by each instance type in terms of virtual CPUs, memory, storage, throughput, or other relative performance characteristic. When a Spot or On-Demand Instance is launched, the capacity units count toward the desired capacity. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches instances until the desired capacity is totally fulfilled, even if this results in an overage. For example, if there are two units remaining to fulfill capacity, and Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can only launch an instance with a WeightedCapacity of five units, the instance is launched, and the desired capacity is exceeded by three units. For more information, see Configure an Auto Scaling group to use instance weights in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide. Value must be in the range of 1–999.
If you specify a value for WeightedCapacity for one instance type, you must specify a value for WeightedCapacity for all of them.
LaunchTemplateSpecification (dict) --
Provides a launch template for the specified instance type or set of instance requirements. For example, some instance types might require a launch template with a different AMI. If not provided, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the launch template that's specified in the LaunchTemplate definition. For more information, see Specifying a different launch template for an instance type in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
You can specify up to 20 launch templates per Auto Scaling group. The launch templates specified in the overrides and in the LaunchTemplate definition count towards this limit.
LaunchTemplateId (string) --
The ID of the launch template. To get the template ID, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
LaunchTemplateName (string) --
The name of the launch template. To get the template name, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
Version (string) --
The version number, $Latest, or $Default. To get the version number, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplateVersions API operation. New launch template versions can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplateVersion API. 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.
InstanceRequirements (dict) --
The instance requirements. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses your specified requirements to identify instance types. Then, it uses your On-Demand and Spot allocation strategies to launch instances from these instance types.
You can specify up to four separate sets of instance requirements per Auto Scaling group. This is useful for provisioning instances from different Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) in the same Auto Scaling group. To do this, create the AMIs and create a new launch template for each AMI. Then, create a compatible set of instance requirements for each launch template.

For example, if you specify c5*, you are excluding the entire C5 instance family, which includes all C5a and C5n instance types. If you specify m5a.*, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will exclude all the M5a instance types, but not the M5n instance types.
Default: No excluded instance types
(string) --
InstanceGenerations (list) --
Indicates whether current or previous generation instance types are included.
For current generation instance types, specify current. The current generation includes EC2 instance types currently recommended for use. This typically includes the latest two to three generations in each instance family. For more information, see Instance types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.
For previous generation instance types, specify previous.
Default: Any current or previous generation
(string) --
SpotMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice (integer) --
[Price protection] The price protection threshold for Spot Instances, as a percentage higher than an identified Spot price. The identified Spot price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.
The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling interprets as a percentage.
If you set DesiredCapacityType to vcpu or memory-mib, the price protection threshold is based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per instance price.
MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice (integer) --
[Price protection] The price protection threshold for Spot Instances, as a percentage of an identified On-Demand price. The identified On-Demand price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.
The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling interprets as a percentage.
If you set DesiredCapacityType to vcpu or memory-mib, the price protection threshold is based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per instance price.
OnDemandMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice (integer) --
[Price protection] The price protection threshold for On-Demand Instances, as a percentage higher than an identified On-Demand price. The identified On-Demand price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.
The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling interprets as a percentage.
To turn off price protection, specify a high value, such as 999999.
If you set DesiredCapacityType to vcpu or memory-mib, the price protection threshold is applied based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per instance price.

(string) --
InstancesDistribution (dict) --
The instances distribution.
OnDemandAllocationStrategy (string) --
The allocation strategy to apply to your On-Demand Instances when they are launched. Possible instance types are determined by the launch template overrides that you specify.
The following lists the valid values:
lowest-price
Uses price to determine which instance types are the highest priority, launching the lowest priced instance types within an Availability Zone first. This is the default value for Auto Scaling groups that specify InstanceRequirements.
prioritized
You set the order of instance types for the launch template overrides from highest to lowest priority (from first to last in the list). Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches your highest priority instance types first. If all your On-Demand capacity cannot be fulfilled using your highest priority instance type, then Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches the remaining capacity using the second priority instance type, and so on. This is the default value for Auto Scaling groups that don't specify InstanceRequirements and cannot be used for groups that do.
OnDemandBaseCapacity (integer) --
The minimum amount of the Auto Scaling group's capacity that must be fulfilled by On-Demand Instances. This base portion is launched first as your group scales.
This number has the same unit of measurement as the group's desired capacity. If you change the default unit of measurement (number of instances) by specifying weighted capacity values in your launch template overrides list, or by changing the default desired capacity type setting of the group, you must specify this number using the same unit of measurement.
Default: 0
OnDemandPercentageAboveBaseCapacity (integer) --
Controls the percentages of On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances for your additional capacity beyond OnDemandBaseCapacity. Expressed as a number (for example, 20 specifies 20% On-Demand Instances, 80% Spot Instances). If set to 100, only On-Demand Instances are used.
Default: 100
SpotAllocationStrategy (string) --
The allocation strategy to apply to your Spot Instances when they are launched. Possible instance types are determined by the launch template overrides that you specify.
The following lists the valid values:
capacity-optimized
Requests Spot Instances using pools that are optimally chosen based on the available Spot capacity. This strategy has the lowest risk of interruption. To give certain instance types a higher chance of launching first, use capacity-optimized-prioritized.
capacity-optimized-prioritized
You set the order of instance types for the launch template overrides from highest to lowest priority (from first to last in the list). Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling honors the instance type priorities on a best effort basis but optimizes for capacity first. Note that if the On-Demand allocation strategy is set to prioritized, the same priority is applied when fulfilling On-Demand capacity. This is not a valid value for Auto Scaling groups that specify InstanceRequirements.
lowest-price
Requests Spot Instances using the lowest priced pools within an Availability Zone, across the number of Spot pools that you specify for the SpotInstancePools property. To ensure that your desired capacity is met, you might receive Spot Instances from several pools. This is the default value, but it might lead to high interruption rates because this strategy only considers instance price and not available capacity.
price-capacity-optimized (recommended)
The price and capacity optimized allocation strategy looks at both price and capacity to select the Spot Instance pools that are the least likely to be interrupted and have the lowest possible price.
SpotInstancePools (integer) --
The number of Spot Instance pools across which to allocate your Spot Instances. The Spot pools are determined from the different instance types in the overrides. Valid only when the SpotAllocationStrategy is lowest-price. Value must be in the range of 1–20.
Default: 2
SpotMaxPrice (string) --
The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. If your maximum price is lower than the Spot price for the instance types that you selected, your Spot Instances are not launched. We do not recommend specifying a maximum price because it can lead to increased interruptions. When Spot Instances launch, you pay the current Spot price. To remove a maximum price that you previously set, include the property but specify an empty string ("") for the value.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.001
RollbackDetails (dict) --
The rollback details.
RollbackReason (string) --
The reason for this instance refresh rollback (for example, whether a manual or automatic rollback was initiated).
RollbackStartTime (datetime) --
The date and time at which the rollback began.
PercentageCompleteOnRollback (integer) --
Indicates the value of PercentageComplete at the time the rollback started.
InstancesToUpdateOnRollback (integer) --
Indicates the value of InstancesToUpdate at the time the rollback started.
ProgressDetailsOnRollback (dict) --
Reports progress on replacing instances in an Auto Scaling group that has a warm pool. This includes separate details for instances in the warm pool and instances in the Auto Scaling group (the live pool).
LivePoolProgress (dict) --
Reports progress on replacing instances that are in the Auto Scaling group.
PercentageComplete (integer) --
The percentage of instances in the Auto Scaling group that have been replaced. For each instance replacement, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling tracks the instance's health status and warm-up time. When the instance's health status changes to healthy and the specified warm-up time passes, the instance is considered updated and is added to the percentage complete.
InstancesToUpdate (integer) --
The number of instances remaining to update.
WarmPoolProgress (dict) --
Reports progress on replacing instances that are in the warm pool.
PercentageComplete (integer) --
The percentage of instances in the warm pool that have been replaced. For each instance replacement, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling tracks the instance's health status and warm-up time. When the instance's health status changes to healthy and the specified warm-up time passes, the instance is considered updated and is added to the percentage complete.
InstancesToUpdate (integer) --
The number of instances remaining to update.
NextToken (string) --
A string that indicates that the response contains more items than can be returned in a single response. To receive additional items, specify this string for the NextToken value when requesting the next set of items. This value is null when there are no more items to return.
{'Preferences': {'BakeTime': 'integer'}}
Starts an instance refresh.
This operation is part of the instance refresh feature in Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, which helps you update instances in your Auto Scaling group. This feature is helpful, for example, when you have a new AMI or a new user data script. You just need to create a new launch template that specifies the new AMI or user data script. Then start an instance refresh to immediately begin the process of updating instances in the group.
If successful, the request's response contains a unique ID that you can use to track the progress of the instance refresh. To query its status, call the DescribeInstanceRefreshes API. To describe the instance refreshes that have already run, call the DescribeInstanceRefreshes API. To cancel an instance refresh that is in progress, use the CancelInstanceRefresh API.
An instance refresh might fail for several reasons, such as EC2 launch failures, misconfigured health checks, or not ignoring or allowing the termination of instances that are in Standby state or protected from scale in. You can monitor for failed EC2 launches using the scaling activities. To find the scaling activities, call the DescribeScalingActivities API.
If you enable auto rollback, your Auto Scaling group will be rolled back automatically when the instance refresh fails. You can enable this feature before starting an instance refresh by specifying the AutoRollback property in the instance refresh preferences. Otherwise, to roll back an instance refresh before it finishes, use the RollbackInstanceRefresh API.

The name of the Auto Scaling group.
string
The strategy to use for the instance refresh. The only valid value is Rolling.
dict
The desired configuration. For example, the desired configuration can specify a new launch template or a new version of the current launch template.
Once the instance refresh succeeds, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling updates the settings of the Auto Scaling group to reflect the new desired configuration.
LaunchTemplate (dict) --
Describes the launch template and the version of the launch template that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses to launch Amazon EC2 instances. For more information about launch templates, see Launch templates in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
LaunchTemplateId (string) --
The ID of the launch template. To get the template ID, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
LaunchTemplateName (string) --
The name of the launch template. To get the template name, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
Version (string) --
The version number, $Latest, or $Default. To get the version number, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplateVersions API operation. New launch template versions can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplateVersion API. 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.
MixedInstancesPolicy (dict) --
Use this structure to launch multiple instance types and On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances within a single Auto Scaling group.
A mixed instances policy contains information that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can use to launch instances and help optimize your costs. For more information, see Auto Scaling groups with multiple instance types and purchase options in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
LaunchTemplate (dict) --
One or more launch templates and the instance types (overrides) that are used to launch EC2 instances to fulfill On-Demand and Spot capacities.
LaunchTemplateSpecification (dict) --
The launch template.
LaunchTemplateId (string) --
The ID of the launch template. To get the template ID, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
LaunchTemplateName (string) --
The name of the launch template. To get the template name, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
Version (string) --
The version number, $Latest, or $Default. To get the version number, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplateVersions API operation. New launch template versions can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplateVersion API. 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 properties that you specify override the same properties in the launch template.
(dict) --
Use this structure to let Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling do the following when the Auto Scaling group has a mixed instances policy:
Override the instance type that is specified in the launch template.
Use multiple instance types.
Specify the instance types that you want, or define your instance requirements instead and let Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling provision the available instance types that meet your requirements. This can provide Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling with a larger selection of instance types to choose from when fulfilling Spot and On-Demand capacities. You can view which instance types are matched before you apply the instance requirements to your Auto Scaling group.
After you define your instance requirements, you don't have to keep updating these settings to get new EC2 instance types automatically. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the instance requirements of the Auto Scaling group to determine whether a new EC2 instance type can be used.
InstanceType (string) --
The instance type, such as m3.xlarge. You must specify an instance type that is supported in your requested Region and Availability Zones. For more information, see Instance types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.
You can specify up to 40 instance types per Auto Scaling group.
WeightedCapacity (string) --
If you provide a list of instance types to use, you can specify the number of capacity units provided by each instance type in terms of virtual CPUs, memory, storage, throughput, or other relative performance characteristic. When a Spot or On-Demand Instance is launched, the capacity units count toward the desired capacity. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches instances until the desired capacity is totally fulfilled, even if this results in an overage. For example, if there are two units remaining to fulfill capacity, and Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can only launch an instance with a WeightedCapacity of five units, the instance is launched, and the desired capacity is exceeded by three units. For more information, see Configure an Auto Scaling group to use instance weights in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide. Value must be in the range of 1–999.
If you specify a value for WeightedCapacity for one instance type, you must specify a value for WeightedCapacity for all of them.
LaunchTemplateSpecification (dict) --
Provides a launch template for the specified instance type or set of instance requirements. For example, some instance types might require a launch template with a different AMI. If not provided, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the launch template that's specified in the LaunchTemplate definition. For more information, see Specifying a different launch template for an instance type in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
You can specify up to 20 launch templates per Auto Scaling group. The launch templates specified in the overrides and in the LaunchTemplate definition count towards this limit.
LaunchTemplateId (string) --
The ID of the launch template. To get the template ID, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
LaunchTemplateName (string) --
The name of the launch template. To get the template name, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName.
Version (string) --
The version number, $Latest, or $Default. To get the version number, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplateVersions API operation. New launch template versions can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplateVersion API. 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.
InstanceRequirements (dict) --
The instance requirements. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses your specified requirements to identify instance types. Then, it uses your On-Demand and Spot allocation strategies to launch instances from these instance types.
You can specify up to four separate sets of instance requirements per Auto Scaling group. This is useful for provisioning instances from different Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) in the same Auto Scaling group. To do this, create the AMIs and create a new launch template for each AMI. Then, create a compatible set of instance requirements for each launch template.

The instance types to exclude. You can use strings with one or more wild cards, represented by an asterisk ( *), to exclude an instance family, type, size, or generation. The following are examples: m5.8xlarge, c5*.*, m5a.*, r*, *3*.
For example, if you specify c5*, you are excluding the entire C5 instance family, which includes all C5a and C5n instance types. If you specify m5a.*, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will exclude all the M5a instance types, but not the M5n instance types.
Default: No excluded instance types
(string) --
InstanceGenerations (list) --
Indicates whether current or previous generation instance types are included.
For current generation instance types, specify current. The current generation includes EC2 instance types currently recommended for use. This typically includes the latest two to three generations in each instance family. For more information, see Instance types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.
For previous generation instance types, specify previous.
Default: Any current or previous generation
(string) --
SpotMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice (integer) --
[Price protection] The price protection threshold for Spot Instances, as a percentage higher than an identified Spot price. The identified Spot price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.
The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling interprets as a percentage.
If you set DesiredCapacityType to vcpu or memory-mib, the price protection threshold is based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per instance price.
MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice (integer) --
[Price protection] The price protection threshold for Spot Instances, as a percentage of an identified On-Demand price. The identified On-Demand price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.
The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling interprets as a percentage.
If you set DesiredCapacityType to vcpu or memory-mib, the price protection threshold is based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per instance price.
OnDemandMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice (integer) --
[Price protection] The price protection threshold for On-Demand Instances, as a percentage higher than an identified On-Demand price. The identified On-Demand price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.
The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling interprets as a percentage.
To turn off price protection, specify a high value, such as 999999.
If you set DesiredCapacityType to vcpu or memory-mib, the price protection threshold is applied based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per instance price.
Default: 20

For example, if you specify c5*, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will allow the entire C5 instance family, which includes all C5a and C5n instance types. If you specify m5a.*, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will allow all the M5a instance types, but not the M5n instance types.
Default: All instance types
(string) --
InstancesDistribution (dict) --
The instances distribution.
OnDemandAllocationStrategy (string) --
The allocation strategy to apply to your On-Demand Instances when they are launched. Possible instance types are determined by the launch template overrides that you specify.
The following lists the valid values:
lowest-price
Uses price to determine which instance types are the highest priority, launching the lowest priced instance types within an Availability Zone first. This is the default value for Auto Scaling groups that specify InstanceRequirements.
prioritized
You set the order of instance types for the launch template overrides from highest to lowest priority (from first to last in the list). Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches your highest priority instance types first. If all your On-Demand capacity cannot be fulfilled using your highest priority instance type, then Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches the remaining capacity using the second priority instance type, and so on. This is the default value for Auto Scaling groups that don't specify InstanceRequirements and cannot be used for groups that do.
OnDemandBaseCapacity (integer) --
The minimum amount of the Auto Scaling group's capacity that must be fulfilled by On-Demand Instances. This base portion is launched first as your group scales.
This number has the same unit of measurement as the group's desired capacity. If you change the default unit of measurement (number of instances) by specifying weighted capacity values in your launch template overrides list, or by changing the default desired capacity type setting of the group, you must specify this number using the same unit of measurement.
Default: 0
OnDemandPercentageAboveBaseCapacity (integer) --
Controls the percentages of On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances for your additional capacity beyond OnDemandBaseCapacity. Expressed as a number (for example, 20 specifies 20% On-Demand Instances, 80% Spot Instances). If set to 100, only On-Demand Instances are used.
Default: 100
SpotAllocationStrategy (string) --
The allocation strategy to apply to your Spot Instances when they are launched. Possible instance types are determined by the launch template overrides that you specify.
The following lists the valid values:
capacity-optimized
Requests Spot Instances using pools that are optimally chosen based on the available Spot capacity. This strategy has the lowest risk of interruption. To give certain instance types a higher chance of launching first, use capacity-optimized-prioritized.
capacity-optimized-prioritized
You set the order of instance types for the launch template overrides from highest to lowest priority (from first to last in the list). Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling honors the instance type priorities on a best effort basis but optimizes for capacity first. Note that if the On-Demand allocation strategy is set to prioritized, the same priority is applied when fulfilling On-Demand capacity. This is not a valid value for Auto Scaling groups that specify InstanceRequirements.
lowest-price
Requests Spot Instances using the lowest priced pools within an Availability Zone, across the number of Spot pools that you specify for the SpotInstancePools property. To ensure that your desired capacity is met, you might receive Spot Instances from several pools. This is the default value, but it might lead to high interruption rates because this strategy only considers instance price and not available capacity.
price-capacity-optimized (recommended)
The price and capacity optimized allocation strategy looks at both price and capacity to select the Spot Instance pools that are the least likely to be interrupted and have the lowest possible price.
SpotInstancePools (integer) --
The number of Spot Instance pools across which to allocate your Spot Instances. The Spot pools are determined from the different instance types in the overrides. Valid only when the SpotAllocationStrategy is lowest-price. Value must be in the range of 1–20.
Default: 2
SpotMaxPrice (string) --
The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. If your maximum price is lower than the Spot price for the instance types that you selected, your Spot Instances are not launched. We do not recommend specifying a maximum price because it can lead to increased interruptions. When Spot Instances launch, you pay the current Spot price. To remove a maximum price that you previously set, include the property but specify an empty string ("") for the value.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.001
dict
Sets your preferences for the instance refresh so that it performs as expected when you start it. Includes the instance warmup time, the minimum and maximum healthy percentages, and the behaviors that you want Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to use if instances that are in Standby state or protected from scale in are found. You can also choose to enable additional features, such as the following:
Auto rollback
Checkpoints
CloudWatch alarms
Skip matching
Bake time
MinHealthyPercentage (integer) --
Specifies the minimum percentage of the group to keep in service, healthy, and ready to use to support your workload to allow the operation to continue. The value is expressed as a percentage of the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group. Value range is 0 to 100.
If you do not specify this property, the default is 90 percent, or the percentage set in the instance maintenance policy for the Auto Scaling group, if defined.
InstanceWarmup (integer) --
A time period, in seconds, during which an instance refresh waits before moving on to replacing the next instance after a new instance enters the InService state.
This property is not required for normal usage. Instead, use the DefaultInstanceWarmup property of the Auto Scaling group. The InstanceWarmup and DefaultInstanceWarmup properties work the same way. Only specify this property if you must override the DefaultInstanceWarmup property.
If you do not specify this property, the instance warmup by default is the value of the DefaultInstanceWarmup property, if defined (which is recommended in all cases), or the HealthCheckGracePeriod property otherwise.
CheckpointPercentages (list) --
(Optional) Threshold values for each checkpoint in ascending order. Each number must be unique. To replace all instances in the Auto Scaling group, the last number in the array must be 100.
For usage examples, see Add checkpoints to an instance refresh in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
(integer) --
CheckpointDelay (integer) --
(Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, to wait after a checkpoint before continuing. This property is optional, but if you specify a value for it, you must also specify a value for CheckpointPercentages. If you specify a value for CheckpointPercentages and not for CheckpointDelay, the CheckpointDelay defaults to 3600 (1 hour).
SkipMatching (boolean) --
(Optional) Indicates whether skip matching is enabled. If enabled ( true), then Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling skips replacing instances that match the desired configuration. If no desired configuration is specified, then it skips replacing instances that have the same launch template and instance types that the Auto Scaling group was using before the start of the instance refresh. The default is false.
For more information, see Use an instance refresh with skip matching in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
AutoRollback (boolean) --
(Optional) Indicates whether to roll back the Auto Scaling group to its previous configuration if the instance refresh fails or a CloudWatch alarm threshold is met. The default is false.
A rollback is not supported in the following situations:
There is no desired configuration specified for the instance refresh.
The Auto Scaling group has a launch template that uses an Amazon Web Services Systems Manager parameter instead of an AMI ID for the ImageId property.
The Auto Scaling group uses the launch template's $Latest or $Default version.
For more information, see Undo changes with a rollback in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
ScaleInProtectedInstances (string) --
Choose the behavior that you want Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to use if instances protected from scale in are found.
The following lists the valid values:
Refresh
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling replaces instances that are protected from scale in.
Ignore
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling ignores instances that are protected from scale in and continues to replace instances that are not protected.
Wait (default)
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling waits one hour for you to remove scale-in protection. Otherwise, the instance refresh will fail.
StandbyInstances (string) --
Choose the behavior that you want Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to use if instances in Standby state are found.
The following lists the valid values:
Terminate
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling terminates instances that are in Standby.
Ignore
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling ignores instances that are in Standby and continues to replace instances that are in the InService state.
Wait (default)
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling waits one hour for you to return the instances to service. Otherwise, the instance refresh will fail.
AlarmSpecification (dict) --
(Optional) The CloudWatch alarm specification. CloudWatch alarms can be used to identify any issues and fail the operation if an alarm threshold is met.
Alarms (list) --
The names of one or more CloudWatch alarms to monitor for the instance refresh. You can specify up to 10 alarms.
(string) --
MaxHealthyPercentage (integer) --
Specifies the maximum percentage of the group that can be in service and healthy, or pending, to support your workload when replacing instances. The value is expressed as a percentage of the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group. Value range is 100 to 200.
If you specify MaxHealthyPercentage, you must also specify MinHealthyPercentage, and the difference between them cannot be greater than 100. A larger range increases the number of instances that can be replaced at the same time.
If you do not specify this property, the default is 100 percent, or the percentage set in the instance maintenance policy for the Auto Scaling group, if defined.
BakeTime (integer) --
The amount of time, in seconds, to wait at the end of an instance refresh before the instance refresh is considered complete.
