RetentionTriggers

Defines the specific triggers that cause instances to be retained in a Retained state rather than terminated. Each trigger corresponds to a different failure scenario during the instance lifecycle. This allows fine-grained control over when to preserve instances for manual intervention.

TerminateHookAbandon

Specifies the action when a termination lifecycle hook is abandoned due to failure, timeout, or explicit abandonment (calling CompleteLifecycleAction).

Set to Retain to move instances to a Retained state. Set to Terminate for default termination behavior.

Retained instances don't count toward desired capacity and remain until you call TerminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroup.
