Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

With Application Auto Scaling, you can configure automatic scaling for your scalable resources. You can use Application Auto Scaling to accomplish the following tasks:

Define scaling policies to automatically scale your AWS or custom resources
Scale your resources in response to CloudWatch alarms
Schedule one-time or recurring scaling actions
View the history of your scaling events

Application Auto Scaling can scale the following resources:

Amazon ECS services. For more information, see Service Auto Scaling in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.
Amazon EC2 Spot fleets. For more information, see Automatic Scaling for Spot Fleet in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
Amazon EMR clusters. For more information, see Using Automatic Scaling in Amazon EMR in the Amazon EMR Management Guide.
AppStream 2.0 fleets. For more information, see Fleet Auto Scaling for Amazon AppStream 2.0 in the Amazon AppStream 2.0 Developer Guide.
Provisioned read and write capacity for Amazon DynamoDB tables and global secondary indexes. For more information, see Managing Throughput Capacity Automatically with DynamoDB Auto Scaling in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
Amazon Aurora Replicas. For more information, see Using Amazon Aurora Auto Scaling with Aurora Replicas.
Amazon SageMaker endpoint variants. For more information, see Automatically Scaling Amazon SageMaker Models.
Custom resources provided by your own applications or services. More information is available in our GitHub repository.

To learn more about Application Auto Scaling, including information about granting IAM users required permissions for Application Auto Scaling actions, see the Application Auto Scaling User Guide.

Sending a Request Using ApplicationAutoScaling

var applicationautoscaling = new AWS.ApplicationAutoScaling();
applicationautoscaling.deregisterScalableTarget(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the ApplicationAutoScaling object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var applicationautoscaling = new AWS.ApplicationAutoScaling({apiVersion: '2016-02-06'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the applicationautoscaling service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  applicationautoscaling: '2016-02-06',
  // other service API versions
};

var applicationautoscaling = new AWS.ApplicationAutoScaling();

Constructing a ApplicationAutoScaling object

var applicationautoscaling = new AWS.ApplicationAutoScaling({apiVersion: '2016-02-06'});

Options Hash (options):

params (map) —
An optional map of parameters to bind to every request sent by this service object. For more information on bound parameters, see "Working with Services" in the Getting Started Guide.
endpoint (String) —
The endpoint URI to send requests to. The default endpoint is built from the configured region. The endpoint should be a string like 'https://{service}.{region}.amazonaws.com'.

your AWS access key ID.
secretAccessKey (String) —
your AWS secret access key.
sessionToken (AWS.Credentials) —
the optional AWS session token to sign requests with.
credentials (AWS.Credentials) —
the AWS credentials to sign requests with. You can either specify this object, or specify the accessKeyId and secretAccessKey options directly.
credentialProvider (AWS.CredentialProviderChain) —
the provider chain used to resolve credentials if no static credentials property is set.
region (String) —
the region to send service requests to. See AWS.ApplicationAutoScaling.region for more information.
maxRetries (Integer) —
the maximum amount of retries to attempt with a request. See AWS.ApplicationAutoScaling.maxRetries for more information.
maxRedirects (Integer) —
the maximum amount of redirects to follow with a request. See AWS.ApplicationAutoScaling.maxRedirects for more information.
sslEnabled (Boolean) —
whether to enable SSL for requests.
paramValidation (Boolean|map) —
whether input parameters should be validated against the operation description before sending the request. Defaults to true. Pass a map to enable any of the following specific validation features:
- min [Boolean] — Validates that a value meets the min constraint. This is enabled by default when paramValidation is set to true.
- max [Boolean] — Validates that a value meets the max constraint.
- pattern [Boolean] — Validates that a string value matches a regular expression.
- enum [Boolean] — Validates that a string value matches one of the allowable enum values.
computeChecksums (Boolean) —
whether to compute checksums for payload bodies when the service accepts it (currently supported in S3 only)
convertResponseTypes (Boolean) —
whether types are converted when parsing response data. Currently only supported for JSON based services. Turning this off may improve performance on large response payloads. Defaults to true.
correctClockSkew (Boolean) —
whether to apply a clock skew correction and retry requests that fail because of an skewed client clock. Defaults to false.
s3ForcePathStyle (Boolean) —
whether to force path style URLs for S3 objects.
s3BucketEndpoint (Boolean) —
whether the provided endpoint addresses an individual bucket (false if it addresses the root API endpoint). Note that setting this configuration option requires an endpoint to be provided explicitly to the service constructor.
s3DisableBodySigning (Boolean) —
whether S3 body signing should be disabled when using signature version v4. Body signing can only be disabled when using https. Defaults to true.
retryDelayOptions (map) —
A set of options to configure the retry delay on retryable errors. Currently supported options are:
- base [Integer] — The base number of milliseconds to use in the exponential backoff for operation retries. Defaults to 100 ms for all services except DynamoDB, where it defaults to 50ms.
- customBackoff [function] — A custom function that accepts a retry count and returns the amount of time to delay in milliseconds. The base option will be ignored if this option is supplied.

A set of options to pass to the low-level HTTP request. Currently supported options are:
- proxy [String] — the URL to proxy requests through
- agent [http.Agent, https.Agent] — the Agent object to perform HTTP requests with. Used for connection pooling. Defaults to the global agent (http.globalAgent) for non-SSL connections. Note that for SSL connections, a special Agent object is used in order to enable peer certificate verification. This feature is only available in the Node.js environment.
- connectTimeout [Integer] — Sets the socket to timeout after failing to establish a connection with the server after connectTimeout milliseconds. This timeout has no effect once a socket connection has been established.
- timeout [Integer] — Sets the socket to timeout after timeout milliseconds of inactivity on the socket. Defaults to two minutes (120000).
- xhrAsync [Boolean] — Whether the SDK will send asynchronous HTTP requests. Used in the browser environment only. Set to false to send requests synchronously. Defaults to true (async on).
- xhrWithCredentials [Boolean] — Sets the "withCredentials" property of an XMLHttpRequest object. Used in the browser environment only. Defaults to false.
apiVersion (String, Date) —
a String in YYYY-MM-DD format (or a date) that represents the latest possible API version that can be used in all services (unless overridden by apiVersions). Specify 'latest' to use the latest possible version.
apiVersions (map<String, String|Date>) —
a map of service identifiers (the lowercase service class name) with the API version to use when instantiating a service. Specify 'latest' for each individual that can use the latest available version.
logger (#write, #log) —
an object that responds to .write() (like a stream) or .log() (like the console object) in order to log information about requests
systemClockOffset (Number) —
an offset value in milliseconds to apply to all signing times. Use this to compensate for clock skew when your system may be out of sync with the service time. Note that this configuration option can only be applied to the global AWS.config object and cannot be overridden in service-specific configuration. Defaults to 0 milliseconds.
signatureVersion (String) —
the signature version to sign requests with (overriding the API configuration). Possible values are: 'v2', 'v3', 'v4'.

dynamoDbCrc32 (Boolean) —
whether to validate the CRC32 checksum of HTTP response bodies returned by DynamoDB. Default: true.
useAccelerateEndpoint (Boolean) —
Whether to use the S3 Transfer Acceleration endpoint with the S3 service. Default: false.
clientSideMonitoring (Boolean) —
whether to collect and publish this client's performance metrics of all its API requests.
endpointDiscoveryEnabled (Boolean) —
whether to enable endpoint discovery for operations that allow optionally using an endpoint returned by the service. Defaults to 'false'

    The scaling policy type.
    Possible values include:
    
    "StepScaling"
    
    "TargetTrackingScaling"
    
    StepScalingPolicyConfiguration — (map)
    A step scaling policy.
    
    AdjustmentType — (String)
    The adjustment type, which specifies how the ScalingAdjustment parameter in a StepAdjustment is interpreted.
    Possible values include:
    
    "ChangeInCapacity"
    
    "PercentChangeInCapacity"
    
    "ExactCapacity"
    
    StepAdjustments — (Array<map>)
    A set of adjustments that enable you to scale based on the size of the alarm breach.
    
    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 — required — (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.
    
    For example, suppose that you create a step scaling policy to scale out an Amazon ECS service by 25 percent and you specify a MinAdjustmentMagnitude of 2. If the service has 4 tasks and the scaling policy is performed, 25 percent of 4 is 1. However, because you specified a MinAdjustmentMagnitude of 2, Application Auto Scaling scales out the service by 2 tasks.
    
    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 the cooldown period 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. If the aggregation type is null, the value is treated as Average.
    Possible values include:
    
    "Average"
    
    "Minimum"
    
    "Maximum"
    
    TargetTrackingScalingPolicyConfiguration — (map)
    A target tracking scaling policy.
    
    TargetValue — required — (Float)
    The target value for the metric. The range is 8.515920e-109 to 1.174271e+108 (Base 10) or 2e-360 to 2e360 (Base 2).
    
    PredefinedMetricSpecification — (map)
    A predefined metric. You can specify either a predefined metric or a customized metric.
    
    PredefinedMetricType — required — (String)
    The metric type. The ALBRequestCountPerTarget metric type applies only to Spot fleet requests and ECS services.
    Possible values include:
    
    "DynamoDBReadCapacityUtilization"
    
    "DynamoDBWriteCapacityUtilization"
    
    "ALBRequestCountPerTarget"
    
    "RDSReaderAverageCPUUtilization"
    
    "RDSReaderAverageDatabaseConnections"
    
    "EC2SpotFleetRequestAverageCPUUtilization"
    
    "EC2SpotFleetRequestAverageNetworkIn"
    
    "EC2SpotFleetRequestAverageNetworkOut"
    
    "SageMakerVariantInvocationsPerInstance"
    
    "ECSServiceAverageCPUUtilization"
    
    "ECSServiceAverageMemoryUtilization"
    
    ResourceLabel — (String)
    Identifies the resource associated with the metric type. You can't specify a resource label unless the metric type is ALBRequestCountPerTarget and there is a target group attached to the Spot fleet request or ECS service.
    
    The format is app/<load-balancer-name>/<load-balancer-id>/targetgroup/<target-group-name>/<target-group-id>, where:
    
    app/<load-balancer-name>/<load-balancer-id> is the final portion of the load balancer ARN
    
    targetgroup/<target-group-name>/<target-group-id> is the final portion of the target group ARN.
    
    CustomizedMetricSpecification — (map)
    A customized metric. You can specify either a predefined metric or a customized metric.
    
    MetricName — required — (String)
    The name of the metric.
    
    Namespace — required — (String)
    The namespace of the metric.
    
    Dimensions — (Array<map>)

    Name — required — (String)
    The name of the dimension.
    
    Value — required — (String)
    The value of the dimension.
    
    Statistic — required — (String)

    "SampleCount"
    
    "Sum"
    
    Unit — (String)
    The unit of the metric.
    
    ScaleOutCooldown — (Integer)
    The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale-out activity completes before another scale-out activity can start.
    
    While the cooldown period 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.
    
    ScaleInCooldown — (Integer)
    The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale-in activity completes before another scale in activity can start.
    
    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.
    
    DisableScaleIn — (Boolean)
    Indicates whether scale in by the target tracking scaling policy is disabled. If the value is true, scale in is disabled and the target tracking scaling policy won't remove capacity from the scalable resource. Otherwise, scale in is enabled and the target tracking scaling policy can remove capacity from the scalable resource. The default value is false.

putScalingPolicy(params = {}, callback) ⇒ `AWS.Request`

Creates or updates a policy for an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

Each scalable target is identified by a service namespace, resource ID, and scalable dimension. A scaling policy applies to the scalable target identified by those three attributes. You cannot create a scaling policy until you have registered the resource as a scalable target using RegisterScalableTarget.

To update a policy, specify its policy name and the parameters that you want to change. Any parameters that you don't specify are not changed by this update request.

You can view the scaling policies for a service namespace using DescribeScalingPolicies. If you are no longer using a scaling policy, you can delete it using DeleteScalingPolicy.

Multiple scaling policies can be in force at the same time for the same scalable target. You can have one or more target tracking scaling policies, one or more step scaling policies, or both. However, there is a chance that multiple policies could conflict, instructing the scalable target to scale out or in at the same time. Application Auto Scaling gives precedence to the policy that provides the largest capacity for both scale in and scale out. For example, if one policy increases capacity by 3, another policy increases capacity by 200 percent, and the current capacity is 10, Application Auto Scaling uses the policy with the highest calculated capacity (200% of 10 = 20) and scales out to 30.

  - "dynamodb:index:WriteCapacityUnits"
  - "rds:cluster:ReadReplicaCount"
  - "sagemaker:variant:DesiredInstanceCount"
  - "custom-resource:ResourceType:Property"
- PolicyType — (String)
  The policy type. This parameter is required if you are creating a scaling policy.
  
  For information on which services do not support StepScaling or TargetTrackingScaling, see the information about Limits in Step Scaling Policies and Target Tracking Scaling Policies in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide.
  Possible values include:
  - "StepScaling"
  - "TargetTrackingScaling"
- StepScalingPolicyConfiguration — (map)
  A step scaling policy.
  
  This parameter is required if you are creating a policy and the policy type is StepScaling.
  - AdjustmentType — (String)
    The adjustment type, which specifies how the ScalingAdjustment parameter in a StepAdjustment is interpreted.
    Possible values include:
    - "ChangeInCapacity"
    - "PercentChangeInCapacity"
    - "ExactCapacity"
  - StepAdjustments — (Array<map>)
    A set of adjustments that enable you to scale based on the size of the alarm breach.
    - 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 — required — (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.
    
    For example, suppose that you create a step scaling policy to scale out an Amazon ECS service by 25 percent and you specify a MinAdjustmentMagnitude of 2. If the service has 4 tasks and the scaling policy is performed, 25 percent of 4 is 1. However, because you specified a MinAdjustmentMagnitude of 2, Application Auto Scaling scales out the service by 2 tasks.
  - 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 the cooldown period 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. If the aggregation type is null, the value is treated as Average.
    Possible values include:
    - "Average"
    - "Minimum"
    - "Maximum"
- TargetTrackingScalingPolicyConfiguration — (map)
  A target tracking scaling policy. Includes support for predefined or customized metrics.
  
  This parameter is required if you are creating a policy and the policy type is TargetTrackingScaling.
  - TargetValue — required — (Float)
    The target value for the metric. The range is 8.515920e-109 to 1.174271e+108 (Base 10) or 2e-360 to 2e360 (Base 2).
  - PredefinedMetricSpecification — (map)
    A predefined metric. You can specify either a predefined metric or a customized metric.
    - PredefinedMetricType — required — (String)
      The metric type. The ALBRequestCountPerTarget metric type applies only to Spot fleet requests and ECS services.
      Possible values include:
      
      "DynamoDBReadCapacityUtilization"
      
      "DynamoDBWriteCapacityUtilization"
      
      "ALBRequestCountPerTarget"
      
      "RDSReaderAverageCPUUtilization"
      
      "RDSReaderAverageDatabaseConnections"
      
      "EC2SpotFleetRequestAverageCPUUtilization"
      
      "EC2SpotFleetRequestAverageNetworkIn"
      
      "EC2SpotFleetRequestAverageNetworkOut"
      
      "SageMakerVariantInvocationsPerInstance"
      
      "ECSServiceAverageCPUUtilization"
      
      "ECSServiceAverageMemoryUtilization"
    - ResourceLabel — (String)
      Identifies the resource associated with the metric type. You can't specify a resource label unless the metric type is ALBRequestCountPerTarget and there is a target group attached to the Spot fleet request or ECS service.
      
      The format is app/<load-balancer-name>/<load-balancer-id>/targetgroup/<target-group-name>/<target-group-id>, where:
      
      app/<load-balancer-name>/<load-balancer-id> is the final portion of the load balancer ARN
      
      targetgroup/<target-group-name>/<target-group-id> is the final portion of the target group ARN.
  - CustomizedMetricSpecification — (map)
    A customized metric. You can specify either a predefined metric or a customized metric.
    - MetricName — required — (String)
      The name of the metric.
    - Namespace — required — (String)
      The namespace of the metric.
    - Dimensions — (Array<map>)
      The dimensions of the metric.
      
      Conditional: If you published your metric with dimensions, you must specify the same dimensions in your scaling policy.
      
      Name — required — (String)
      The name of the dimension.
      
      Value — required — (String)
      The value of the dimension.

      "Maximum"
      
      "SampleCount"
      
      "Sum"
    - Unit — (String)
      The unit of the metric.
  - ScaleOutCooldown — (Integer)
    The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale-out activity completes before another scale-out activity can start.
    
    While the cooldown period 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.
  - ScaleInCooldown — (Integer)
    The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale-in activity completes before another scale in activity can start.
    
    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.
  - DisableScaleIn — (Boolean)
    Indicates whether scale in by the target tracking scaling policy is disabled. If the value is true, scale in is disabled and the target tracking scaling policy won't remove capacity from the scalable resource. Otherwise, scale in is enabled and the target tracking scaling policy can remove capacity from the scalable resource. The default value is false.

Callback (callback):

function(err, data) { ... }

Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.
Context (this):
- (AWS.Response) —
  the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.
Parameters:
- err (Error) —
  the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.
- data (Object) —
  the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:
  - PolicyARN — (String)
    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resulting scaling policy.
  - Alarms — (Array<map>)
    The CloudWatch alarms created for the target tracking scaling policy.
    
    AlarmName — required — (String)
    The name of the alarm.

putScheduledAction(params = {}, callback) ⇒ `AWS.Request`

Creates or updates a scheduled action for an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

Each scalable target is identified by a service namespace, resource ID, and scalable dimension. A scheduled action applies to the scalable target identified by those three attributes. You cannot create a scheduled action until you have registered the resource as a scalable target using RegisterScalableTarget.

To update an action, specify its name and the parameters that you want to change. If you don't specify start and end times, the old values are deleted. Any other parameters that you don't specify are not changed by this update request.

You can view the scheduled actions using DescribeScheduledActions. If you are no longer using a scheduled action, you can delete it using DeleteScheduledAction.

  - MinCapacity — (Integer)
    The minimum capacity.
  - MaxCapacity — (Integer)
    The maximum capacity.

Callback (callback):

function(err, data) { ... }

Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.
Context (this):
- (AWS.Response) —
  the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.
Parameters:
- err (Error) —
  the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.
- data (Object) —
  the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

(AWS.Request) —
a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

registerScalableTarget(params = {}, callback) ⇒ `AWS.Request`

Registers or updates a scalable target. A scalable target is a resource that Application Auto Scaling can scale out and scale in. Each scalable target has a resource ID, scalable dimension, and namespace, as well as values for minimum and maximum capacity.

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 using DescribeScalableTargets.

If you no longer need a scalable target, you can deregister it using DeregisterScalableTarget.
