Overview
Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.
Service Description
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is designed to automatically launch and terminate EC2 instances based on user-defined scaling policies, scheduled actions, and health checks.
For more information, see the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide and the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling API Reference.
Sending a Request Using AutoScaling
var autoscaling = new AWS.AutoScaling();
autoscaling.attachLoadBalancerTargetGroups(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 AutoScaling object uses this specific API, you can
construct the object by passing the apiVersion
option to the constructor:
var autoscaling = new AWS.AutoScaling({apiVersion: '2011-01-01'});
You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions
using
the autoscaling service identifier:
AWS.config.apiVersions = {
autoscaling: '2011-01-01',
// other service API versions
};
var autoscaling = new AWS.AutoScaling();

completeLifecycleAction(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Completes the lifecycle action for the specified token or instance with the specified result.
This step is a part of the procedure for adding a lifecycle hook to an Auto Scaling group:
-
(Optional) Create a launch template or launch configuration with a user data script that runs while an instance is in a wait state due to a lifecycle hook.
-
(Optional) Create a Lambda function and a rule that allows Amazon EventBridge to invoke your Lambda function when an instance is put into a wait state due to a lifecycle hook.
-
(Optional) Create a notification target and an IAM role. The target can be either an Amazon SQS queue or an Amazon SNS topic. The role allows Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to publish lifecycle notifications to the target.
-
Create the lifecycle hook. Specify whether the hook is used when the instances launch or terminate.
-
If you need more time, record the lifecycle action heartbeat to keep the instance in a wait state.
-
If you finish before the timeout period ends, send a callback by using the CompleteLifecycleAction API call.
For more information, see Complete a lifecycle action in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

createAutoScalingGroup(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
We strongly recommend using a launch template when calling this operation to ensure full functionality for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling and Amazon EC2.
Creates an Auto Scaling group with the specified name and attributes.
If you exceed your maximum limit of Auto Scaling groups, the call fails. To query this limit, call the DescribeAccountLimits API. For information about updating this limit, see Quotas for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
If you're new to Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, see the introductory tutorials in Get started with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
Every Auto Scaling group has three size properties (
DesiredCapacity
,MaxSize
, andMinSize
). Usually, you set these sizes based on a specific number of instances. However, if you configure a mixed instances policy that defines weights for the instance types, you must specify these sizes with the same units that you use for weighting instances.Service Reference:

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 forWeightedCapacity
for all of them.Every Auto Scaling group has three size parameters (
DesiredCapacity
,MaxSize
, andMinSize
). Usually, you set these sizes based on a specific number of instances. However, if you configure a mixed instances policy that defines weights for the instance types, you must specify these sizes with the same units that you use for weighting instances.LaunchTemplateSpecification
— (map
)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

, 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
— (map
)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.

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:

-
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
islowest-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.
If you specify a maximum price, your instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify one.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.001
InstanceId
— (String
)The ID of the instance used to base the launch configuration on. If specified, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the configuration values from the specified instance to create a new launch configuration.

MinSize
— (Integer
)The minimum size of the group.
MaxSize
— (Integer
)The maximum size of the group.
Note: With a mixed instances policy that uses instance weighting, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling may need to go aboveMaxSize
to meet your capacity requirements. In this event, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will never go aboveMaxSize
by more than your largest instance weight (weights that define how many units each instance contributes to the desired capacity of the group).DesiredCapacity
— (Integer
)The desired capacity is the initial capacity of the Auto Scaling group at the time of its creation and the capacity it attempts to maintain. It can scale beyond this capacity if you configure auto scaling. This number must be greater than or equal to the minimum size of the group and less than or equal to the maximum size of the group. If you do not specify a desired capacity, the default is the minimum size of the group.

true
.Iops
— (Integer
)The number of input/output (I/O) operations per second (IOPS) to provision for the volume. For
gp3
andio1
volumes, this represents the number of IOPS that are provisioned for the volume. Forgp2
volumes, this represents the baseline performance of the volume and the rate at which the volume accumulates I/O credits for bursting.The following are the supported values for each volume type:
-
gp3
: 3,000-16,000 IOPS -
io1

)Specifies whether the volume should be encrypted. Encrypted EBS volumes can only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. For more information, see Requirements for Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EBS User Guide. If your AMI uses encrypted volumes, you can also only launch it on supported instance types.
Note: If you are creating a volume from a snapshot, you cannot create an unencrypted volume from an encrypted snapshot. Also, you cannot specify a KMS key ID when using a launch configuration. If you enable encryption by default, the EBS volumes that you create are always encrypted, either using the Amazon Web Services managed KMS key or a customer-managed KMS key, regardless of whether the snapshot was encrypted. For more information, see Use Amazon Web Services KMS keys to encrypt Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.Throughput
— (Integer
)The throughput (MiBps) to provision for a

InstanceMonitoring
— (map
)Controls whether instances in this group are launched with detailed (
true
) or basic (false
) monitoring.The default value is
true
(enabled).When detailed monitoring is enabled, Amazon CloudWatch generates metrics every minute and your account is charged a fee. When you disable detailed monitoring, CloudWatch generates metrics every 5 minutes. For more information, see Configure monitoring for Auto Scaling instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
Enabled
— (Boolean
)If
true
, detailed monitoring is enabled. Otherwise, basic monitoring is enabled.
SpotPrice
— (String
)The maximum hourly price to be paid for any Spot Instance launched to fulfill the request. Spot Instances are launched when the price you specify exceeds the current Spot price. For more information, see Request Spot Instances for fault-tolerant and flexible applications in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.001
Note: When you change your maximum price by creating a new launch configuration, running instances will continue to run as long as the maximum price for those running instances is higher than the current Spot price.IamInstanceProfile

)The name or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the instance profile associated with the IAM role for the instance. The instance profile contains the IAM role. For more information, see IAM role for applications that run on Amazon EC2 instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
EbsOptimized
— (Boolean
)Specifies whether the launch configuration is optimized for EBS I/O (
true
) or not (false
). The optimization provides dedicated throughput to Amazon EBS and an optimized configuration stack to provide optimal I/O performance. This optimization is not available with all instance types. Additional fees are incurred when you enable EBS optimization for an instance type that is not EBS-optimized by default. For more information, see Amazon EBS-optimized instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.The default value is
false
.AssociatePublicIpAddress
— (Boolean
)Specifies whether to assign a public IPv4 address to the group's instances. If the instance is launched into a default subnet, the default is to assign a public IPv4 address, unless you disabled the option to assign a public IPv4 address on the subnet. If the instance is launched into a nondefault subnet, the default is not to assign a public IPv4 address, unless you enabled the option to assign a public IPv4 address on the subnet.
If you specify
true
, each instance in the Auto Scaling group receives a unique public IPv4 address. For more information, see Provide network connectivity for your Auto Scaling instances using Amazon VPC in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.If you specify this property, you must specify at least one subnet for
VPCZoneIdentifier
when you create your group.PlacementTenancy
— (String
)The tenancy of the instance, either
default
ordedicated
. An instance withdedicated
tenancy runs on isolated, single-tenant hardware and can only be launched into a VPC. To launch dedicated instances into a shared tenancy VPC (a VPC with the instance placement tenancy attribute set todefault

optional
.If the state is
optional
, you can choose to retrieve instance metadata with or without a signed token header on your request. If you retrieve the IAM role credentials without a token, the version 1.0 role credentials are returned. If you retrieve the IAM role credentials using a valid signed token, the version 2.0 role credentials are returned.If the state is
Possible values include:required
, you must send a signed token header with any instance metadata retrieval requests. In this state, retrieving the IAM role credentials always returns the version 2.0 credentials; the version 1.0 credentials are not available."optional"

deleteAutoScalingGroup(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes the specified Auto Scaling group.
If the group has instances or scaling activities in progress, you must specify the option to force the deletion in order for it to succeed. The force delete operation will also terminate the EC2 instances. If the group has a warm pool, the force delete option also deletes the warm pool.
To remove instances from the Auto Scaling group before deleting it, call the DetachInstances API with the list of instances and the option to decrement the desired capacity. This ensures that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling does not launch replacement instances.
To terminate all instances before deleting the Auto Scaling group, call the UpdateAutoScalingGroup API and set the minimum size and desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group to zero.
If the group has scaling policies, deleting the group deletes the policies, the underlying alarm actions, and any alarm that no longer has an associated action.

You can use strings with one or more wild cards, represented by an asterisk (
*
), to allow an instance type, size, or generation. The following are examples:m5.8xlarge
,c5*.*
,m5a.*
,r*
,*3*
.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 specifym5a.*
, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will allow all the M5a instance types, but not the M5n instance types.Note: If you specifyAllowedInstanceTypes
, you can't specifyExcludedInstanceTypes
.Default: All instance types
InstancesDistribution
— (map
)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
islowest-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.
If you specify a maximum price, your instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify one.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.001

)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. TheInstanceWarmup
andDefaultInstanceWarmup
properties work the same way. Only specify this property if you must override theDefaultInstanceWarmup
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 theHealthCheckGracePeriod
property otherwise.CheckpointPercentages
— (Array<Integer>
)(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.
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 forCheckpointPercentages
and not forCheckpointDelay
, theCheckpointDelay
defaults to3600
(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 isfalse
.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:
-

-
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.

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 forWeightedCapacity
for all of them.Every Auto Scaling group has three size parameters (
DesiredCapacity
,MaxSize
, andMinSize
). Usually, you set these sizes based on a specific number of instances. However, if you configure a mixed instances policy that defines weights for the instance types, you must specify these sizes with the same units that you use for weighting instances.LaunchTemplateSpecification
— (map
)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

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
islowest-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.
If you specify a maximum price, your instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify one.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.001

describeLoadBalancers(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Note: This API operation is superseded by DescribeTrafficSources, which can describe multiple traffic sources types. We recommend usingDescribeTrafficSources
to simplify how you manage traffic sources. However, we continue to supportDescribeLoadBalancers
. You can use both the originalDescribeLoadBalancers
API operation andDescribeTrafficSources
on the same Auto Scaling group.Gets information about the load balancers for the specified Auto Scaling group.
This operation describes only Classic Load Balancers. If you have Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers, or Gateway Load Balancers, use the DescribeLoadBalancerTargetGroups API instead.
To determine the attachment status of the load balancer, use the
State
element in the response. When you attach a load balancer to an Auto Scaling group, the initialState
value isAdding
. The state transitions toAdded
after all Auto Scaling instances are registered with the load balancer. If Elastic Load Balancing health checks are enabled for the Auto Scaling group, the state transitions toInService
after at least one Auto Scaling instance passes the health check. When the load balancer is in theInService
state, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can terminate and replace any instances that are reported as unhealthy. If no registered instances pass the health checks, the load balancer doesn't enter theInService
state.Load balancers also have an
InService
state if you attach them in the CreateAutoScalingGroup API call. If your load balancer state isInService
, but it is not working properly, check the scaling activities by calling DescribeScalingActivities and take any corrective actions necessary.For help with failed health checks, see Troubleshooting Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling: Health checks in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Possible values include:ForecastOnly
if not specified."ForecastAndScale"
"ForecastOnly"
SchedulingBufferTime
— (Integer
)The amount of time, in seconds, by which the instance launch time can be advanced. For example, the forecast says to add capacity at 10:00 AM, and you choose to pre-launch instances by 5 minutes. In that case, the instances will be launched at 9:55 AM. The intention is to give resources time to be provisioned. It can take a few minutes to launch an EC2 instance.

MaxCapacityBreachBehavior
— (String

HonorMaxCapacity
- Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can't increase the maximum capacity of the group when the forecast capacity is close to or exceeds the maximum capacity. -
IncreaseMaxCapacity
- Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can increase the maximum capacity of the group when the forecast capacity is close to or exceeds the maximum capacity. The upper limit is determined by the forecasted capacity and the value forMaxCapacityBuffer
.
Use caution when allowing the maximum capacity to be automatically increased. This can lead to more instances being launched than intended if the increased maximum capacity is not monitored and managed. The increased maximum capacity then becomes the new normal maximum capacity for the Auto Scaling group until you manually update it. The maximum capacity does not automatically decrease back to the original maximum.
"HonorMaxCapacity"
"IncreaseMaxCapacity"
-
MaxCapacityBuffer
— (Integer
)The size of the capacity buffer to use when the forecast capacity is close to or exceeds the maximum capacity. The value is specified as a percentage relative to the forecast capacity. For example, if the buffer is 10, this means a 10 percent buffer, such that if the forecast capacity is 50, and the maximum capacity is 40, then the effective maximum capacity is 55.
If set to 0, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling may scale capacity higher than the maximum capacity to equal but not exceed forecast capacity.
Required if the
MaxCapacityBreachBehavior
property is set toIncreaseMaxCapacity
, and cannot be used otherwise.
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.
-

Gets information about the scaling activities in the account and Region.
When scaling events occur, you see a record of the scaling activity in the scaling activities. For more information, see Verify a scaling activity for an Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
If the scaling event succeeds, the value of the
StatusCode
element in the response isSuccessful
. If an attempt to launch instances failed, theStatusCode
value isFailed
orCancelled
and theStatusMessage
element in the response indicates the cause of the failure. For help interpreting theStatusMessage
, see Troubleshooting Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.Service Reference:

If there is a Classic Load Balancer attached to the Auto Scaling group, the instances are deregistered from the load balancer. If there are target groups attached to the Auto Scaling group, the instances are deregistered from the target groups.
For more information, see Detach or attach instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

detachLoadBalancers(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Note: This API operation is superseded by DetachTrafficSources, which can detach multiple traffic sources types. We recommend usingDetachTrafficSources
to simplify how you manage traffic sources. However, we continue to supportDetachLoadBalancers
. You can use both the originalDetachLoadBalancers
API operation andDetachTrafficSources
on the same Auto Scaling group.Detaches one or more Classic Load Balancers from the specified Auto Scaling group.
This operation detaches only Classic Load Balancers. If you have Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers, or Gateway Load Balancers, use the DetachLoadBalancerTargetGroups API instead.
When you detach a load balancer, it enters the
Removing
state while deregistering the instances in the group. When all instances are deregistered, then you can no longer describe the load balancer using the DescribeLoadBalancers API call. The instances remain running.Service Reference:
Examples:
To detach a load balancer from an Auto Scaling group
/* This example detaches the specified load balancer from the specified Auto Scaling group. */ var params = { AutoScalingGroupName: "my-auto-scaling-group", LoadBalancerNames: [ "my-load-balancer" ] }; autoscaling.detachLoadBalancers(params, function(err, data) { if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred else console.log(data); // successful response /* data = { } */ });

Returns:
getPredictiveScalingForecast(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Retrieves the forecast data for a predictive scaling policy.
Load forecasts are predictions of the hourly load values using historical load data from CloudWatch and an analysis of historical trends. Capacity forecasts are represented as predicted values for the minimum capacity that is needed on an hourly basis, based on the hourly load forecast.
A minimum of 24 hours of data is required to create the initial forecasts. However, having a full 14 days of historical data results in more accurate forecasts.
For more information, see Predictive scaling for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Examples:
Calling the getPredictiveScalingForecast operation
var params = { AutoScalingGroupName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */ EndTime: new Date || 'Wed Dec 31 1969 16:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)' || 123456789, /* required */ PolicyName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */ StartTime: new Date || 'Wed Dec 31 1969 16:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)' || 123456789 /* required */ }; autoscaling.getPredictiveScalingForecast(params, function(err, data) { if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred else console.log(data); // successful response });
Parameters:

(defaults to: {})
—
AutoScalingGroupName
— (String
)The name of the Auto Scaling group.
PolicyName
— (String
)The name of the policy.
StartTime
— (Date
)The inclusive start time of the time range for the forecast data to get. At most, the date and time can be one year before the current date and time.
EndTime
— (Date
)The exclusive end time of the time range for the forecast data to get. The maximum time duration between the start and end time is 30 days.
Although this parameter can accept a date and time that is more than two days in the future, the availability of forecast data has limits. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling only issues forecasts for periods of two days in advance.

Returns:
putLifecycleHook(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates or updates a lifecycle hook for the specified Auto Scaling group.
Lifecycle hooks let you create solutions that are aware of events in the Auto Scaling instance lifecycle, and then perform a custom action on instances when the corresponding lifecycle event occurs.
This step is a part of the procedure for adding a lifecycle hook to an Auto Scaling group:
-
(Optional) Create a launch template or launch configuration with a user data script that runs while an instance is in a wait state due to a lifecycle hook.
-
(Optional) Create a Lambda function and a rule that allows Amazon EventBridge to invoke your Lambda function when an instance is put into a wait state due to a lifecycle hook.
-
(Optional) Create a notification target and an IAM role. The target can be either an Amazon SQS queue or an Amazon SNS topic. The role allows Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to publish lifecycle notifications to the target.
-
Create the lifecycle hook. Specify whether the hook is used when the instances launch or terminate.
-
If you need more time, record the lifecycle action heartbeat to keep the instance in a wait state using the RecordLifecycleActionHeartbeat API call.
-
If you finish before the timeout period ends, send a callback by using the CompleteLifecycleAction API call.
For more information, see Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling lifecycle hooks in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
If you exceed your maximum limit of lifecycle hooks, which by default is 50 per Auto Scaling group, the call fails.
You can view the lifecycle hooks for an Auto Scaling group using the DescribeLifecycleHooks API call. If you are no longer using a lifecycle hook, you can delete it by calling the DeleteLifecycleHook API.
Service Reference:
Examples:
To create a launch lifecycle hook
/* This example creates a lifecycle hook for instance launch. */ var params = { AutoScalingGroupName: "my-auto-scaling-group", DefaultResult: "CONTINUE", HeartbeatTimeout: 300, LifecycleHookName: "my-launch-lifecycle-hook", LifecycleTransition: "autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_LAUNCHING" }; autoscaling.putLifecycleHook(params, function(err, data) { if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred else console.log(data); // successful response /* data = { } */ });
Calling the putLifecycleHook operation
var params = { AutoScalingGroupName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */ LifecycleHookName: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */ DefaultResult: 'STRING_VALUE', HeartbeatTimeout: 'NUMBER_VALUE', LifecycleTransition: 'STRING_VALUE', NotificationMetadata: 'STRING_VALUE', NotificationTargetARN: 'STRING_VALUE', RoleARN: 'STRING_VALUE' }; autoscaling.putLifecycleHook(params, function(err, data) { if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred else console.log(data); // successful response });

autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_TERMINATING
.
Required for new lifecycle hooks, but optional when updating existing hooks.
-
RoleARN
— (String
)The ARN of the IAM role that allows the Auto Scaling group to publish to the specified notification target.
Valid only if the notification target is an Amazon SNS topic or an Amazon SQS queue. Required for new lifecycle hooks, but optional when updating existing hooks.
NotificationTargetARN
— (String
)The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the notification target that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses to notify you when an instance is in a wait state for the lifecycle hook. You can specify either an Amazon SNS topic or an Amazon SQS queue.
If you specify an empty string, this overrides the current ARN.
This operation uses the JSON format when sending notifications to an Amazon SQS queue, and an email key-value pair format when sending notifications to an Amazon SNS topic.
When you specify a notification target, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends it a test message. Test messages contain the following additional key-value pair:
"Event": "autoscaling:TEST_NOTIFICATION"
.NotificationMetadata
— (String
)Additional information that you want to include any time Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends a message to the notification target.

The most commonly used metrics for predictive scaling are
Average
andSum
.Unit
— (String
)The unit to use for the returned data points. For a complete list of the units that CloudWatch supports, see the MetricDatum data type in the Amazon CloudWatch API Reference.
Label
— (String
)A human-readable label for this metric or expression. This is especially useful if this is a math expression, so that you know what the value represents.
ReturnData
— (Boolean
)Indicates whether to return the timestamps and raw data values of this metric.
If you use any math expressions, specify
true
for this value for only the final math expression that the metric specification is based on. You must specifyfalse
forReturnData
for all the other metrics and expressions used in the metric specification.If you are only retrieving metrics and not performing any math expressions, do not specify anything for
ReturnData
. This sets it to its default (true
).
Mode
— (String
)The predictive scaling mode. Defaults to
Possible values include:ForecastOnly
if not specified."ForecastAndScale"
"ForecastOnly"
SchedulingBufferTime
— (Integer
)The amount of time, in seconds, by which the instance launch time can be advanced. For example, the forecast says to add capacity at 10:00 AM, and you choose to pre-launch instances by 5 minutes. In that case, the instances will be launched at 9:55 AM. The intention is to give resources time to be provisioned. It can take a few minutes to launch an EC2 instance. The actual amount of time required depends on several factors, such as the size of the instance and whether there are startup scripts to complete.
The value must be less than the forecast interval duration of 3600 seconds (60 minutes). Defaults to 300 seconds if not specified.
MaxCapacityBreachBehavior
— (String
)Defines the behavior that should be applied if the forecast capacity approaches or exceeds the maximum capacity of the Auto Scaling group. Defaults to
HonorMaxCapacity
if not specified.The following are possible values:
-
HonorMaxCapacity
- Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can't increase the maximum capacity of the group when the forecast capacity is close to or exceeds the maximum capacity. -
IncreaseMaxCapacity
- Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can increase the maximum capacity of the group when the forecast capacity is close to or exceeds the maximum capacity. The upper limit is determined by the forecasted capacity and the value forMaxCapacityBuffer
.
Use caution when allowing the maximum capacity to be automatically increased. This can lead to more instances being launched than intended if the increased maximum capacity is not monitored and managed. The increased maximum capacity then becomes the new normal maximum capacity for the Auto Scaling group until you manually update it. The maximum capacity does not automatically decrease back to the original maximum.
"HonorMaxCapacity"
"IncreaseMaxCapacity"
-
MaxCapacityBuffer
— (Integer
)The size of the capacity buffer to use when the forecast capacity is close to or exceeds the maximum capacity. The value is specified as a percentage relative to the forecast capacity. For example, if the buffer is 10, this means a 10 percent buffer, such that if the forecast capacity is 50, and the maximum capacity is 40, then the effective maximum capacity is 55.
If set to 0, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling may scale capacity higher than the maximum capacity to equal but not exceed forecast capacity.
Required if the
MaxCapacityBreachBehavior
property is set toIncreaseMaxCapacity
, and cannot be used otherwise.

for the Auto Scaling group. This is an optional property. Specify it only if you do not want the warm pool size to be determined by the difference between the group's maximum capacity and its desired capacity.If a value for
MaxGroupPreparedCapacity
is not specified, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches and maintains the difference between the group's maximum capacity and its desired capacity. If you specify a value forMaxGroupPreparedCapacity
, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the difference between theMaxGroupPreparedCapacity
and the desired capacity instead.The size of the warm pool is dynamic. Only when
MaxGroupPreparedCapacity
andMinSize
are set to the same value does the warm pool have an absolute size.If the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group is higher than the

recordLifecycleActionHeartbeat(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Records a heartbeat for the lifecycle action associated with the specified token or instance. This extends the timeout by the length of time defined using the PutLifecycleHook API call.
This step is a part of the procedure for adding a lifecycle hook to an Auto Scaling group:
-
(Optional) Create a launch template or launch configuration with a user data script that runs while an instance is in a wait state due to a lifecycle hook.
-
(Optional) Create a Lambda function and a rule that allows Amazon EventBridge to invoke your Lambda function when an instance is put into a wait state due to a lifecycle hook.
-
(Optional) Create a notification target and an IAM role. The target can be either an Amazon SQS queue or an Amazon SNS topic. The role allows Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to publish lifecycle notifications to the target.
-
Create the lifecycle hook. Specify whether the hook is used when the instances launch or terminate.
-
If you need more time, record the lifecycle action heartbeat to keep the instance in a wait state.
-
If you finish before the timeout period ends, send a callback by using the CompleteLifecycleAction API call.

rollbackInstanceRefresh(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Cancels an instance refresh that is in progress and rolls back any changes that it made. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling replaces any instances that were replaced during the instance refresh. This restores your Auto Scaling group to the configuration that it was using before the start of the 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 after you make configuration changes.
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. -

Returns:
startInstanceRefresh(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
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.Service Reference:

DesiredConfiguration
— (map
)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.
Note: When you specify a new launch template or a new version of the current launch template for your desired configuration, consider enabling theSkipMatching
property in preferences. If it's enabled, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling skips replacing instances that already use the specified launch template and instance types. This can help you reduce the number of replacements that are required to apply updates.LaunchTemplate
— (map
)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 aLaunchTemplateName
.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 aLaunchTemplateName
.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
— (map
)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.

, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the default version of the launch template when launching instances. The default value is$Default
.
Overrides
— (Array<map>
)Any properties that you specify override the same properties in the launch template.
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 forWeightedCapacity
for all of them.Every Auto Scaling group has three size parameters (
DesiredCapacity
,MaxSize
, andMinSize
). Usually, you set these sizes based on a specific number of instances. However, if you configure a mixed instances policy that defines weights for the instance types, you must specify these sizes with the same units that you use for weighting instances.LaunchTemplateSpecification
— (map
)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 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
— (map
)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.

, you can't specifyExcludedInstanceTypes
.Default: All instance types
InstancesDistribution
— (map
)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
islowest-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.
If you specify a maximum price, your instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify one.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.001
Preferences
— (map
)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
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. TheInstanceWarmup
andDefaultInstanceWarmup
properties work the same way. Only specify this property if you must override theDefaultInstanceWarmup
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 theHealthCheckGracePeriod
property otherwise.CheckpointPercentages
— (Array<Integer>
)(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.
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 forCheckpointPercentages
and not forCheckpointDelay
, theCheckpointDelay
defaults to3600
(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 isfalse
.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.
"Refresh"

Returns:
terminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroup(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Terminates the specified instance and optionally adjusts the desired group size. This operation cannot be called on instances in a warm pool.
This call simply makes a termination request. The instance is not terminated immediately. When an instance is terminated, the instance status changes to
terminated
. You can't connect to or start an instance after you've terminated it.If you do not specify the option to decrement the desired capacity, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches instances to replace the ones that are terminated.
By default, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling balances instances across all Availability Zones. If you decrement the desired capacity, your Auto Scaling group can become unbalanced between Availability Zones. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling tries to rebalance the group, and rebalancing might terminate instances in other zones. For more information, see Manual scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Returns:
updateAutoScalingGroup(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
We strongly recommend that all Auto Scaling groups use launch templates to ensure full functionality for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling and Amazon EC2.
Updates the configuration for the specified Auto Scaling group.
To update an Auto Scaling group, specify the name of the group and the property that you want to change. Any properties that you don't specify are not changed by this update request. The new settings take effect on any scaling activities after this call returns.
If you associate a new launch configuration or template with an Auto Scaling group, all new instances will get the updated configuration. Existing instances continue to run with the configuration that they were originally launched with. When you update a group to specify a mixed instances policy instead of a launch configuration or template, existing instances may be replaced to match the new purchasing options that you specified in the policy. For example, if the group currently has 100% On-Demand capacity and the policy specifies 50% Spot capacity, this means that half of your instances will be gradually terminated and relaunched as Spot Instances. When replacing instances, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches new instances before terminating the old ones, so that updating your group does not compromise the performance or availability of your application.
Note the following about changing
DesiredCapacity
,MaxSize
, orMinSize
:-
If a scale-in activity occurs as a result of a new
DesiredCapacity
value that is lower than the current size of the group, the Auto Scaling group uses its termination policy to determine which instances to terminate. -
If you specify a new value for
MinSize
without specifying a value forDesiredCapacity
, and the newMinSize
is larger than the current size of the group, this sets the group'sDesiredCapacity
to the newMinSize
value. -
If you specify a new value for
MaxSize
without specifying a value forDesiredCapacity
, and the newMaxSize
is smaller than the current size of the group, this sets the group'sDesiredCapacity
to the newMaxSize
value.
To see which properties have been set, call the DescribeAutoScalingGroups API. To view the scaling policies for an Auto Scaling group, call the DescribePolicies API. If the group has scaling policies, you can update them by calling the PutScalingPolicy API.

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 forWeightedCapacity
for all of them.Every Auto Scaling group has three size parameters (

— (map
)The minimum and maximum amount of network bandwidth, in gigabits per second (Gbps).
Default: No minimum or maximum limits
Min
— (Float
)The minimum amount of network bandwidth, in gigabits per second (Gbps).
Max
— (Float
)The maximum amount of network bandwidth, in gigabits per second (Gbps).
AllowedInstanceTypes
— (Array<String>
)The instance types to apply your specified attributes against. All other instance types are ignored, even if they match your specified attributes.
You can use strings with one or more wild cards, represented by an asterisk (
*
), to allow an instance type, size, or generation. The following are examples:m5.8xlarge
,c5*.*
,m5a.*
,r*
,*3*
.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 specifym5a.*
, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will allow all the M5a instance types, but not the M5n instance types.Note: If you specifyAllowedInstanceTypes
, you can't specifyExcludedInstanceTypes
.Default: All instance types
InstancesDistribution
— (map
)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
islowest-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.
If you specify a maximum price, your instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify one.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.001
MinSize
— (Integer
)The minimum size of the Auto Scaling group.
MaxSize
— (Integer
)The maximum size of the Auto Scaling group.
Note: With a mixed instances policy that uses instance weighting, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling may need to go aboveMaxSize
to meet your capacity requirements. In this event, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will never go aboveMaxSize
by more than your largest instance weight (weights that define how many units each instance contributes to the desired capacity of the group).DesiredCapacity
— (Integer
)The desired capacity is the initial capacity of the Auto Scaling group after this operation completes and the capacity it attempts to maintain. This number must be greater than or equal to the minimum size of the group and less than or equal to the maximum size of the group.
DefaultCooldown
— (Integer
)Only needed if you use simple scaling policies.
The amount of time, in seconds, between one scaling activity ending and another one starting due to simple scaling policies. For more information, see Scaling cooldowns for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
AvailabilityZones
— (Array<String>
)One or more Availability Zones for the group.
HealthCheckType
— (String
)A comma-separated value string of one or more health check types.
The valid values are
EC2
,EBS
,ELB
, andVPC_LATTICE
.EC2
is the default health check and cannot be disabled. For more information, see Health checks for instances in an Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.Only specify
EC2
if you must clear a value that was previously set.HealthCheckGracePeriod
— (Integer
)The amount of time, in seconds, that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling waits before checking the health status of an EC2 instance that has come into service and marking it unhealthy due to a failed health check. This is useful if your instances do not immediately pass their health checks after they enter the
InService
state. For more information, see Set the health check grace period for an Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.PlacementGroup
— (String
)The name of an existing placement group into which to launch your instances. For more information, see Placement groups in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.
Note: A cluster placement group is a logical grouping of instances within a single Availability Zone. You cannot specify multiple Availability Zones and a cluster placement group.VPCZoneIdentifier
— (String
)A comma-separated list of subnet IDs for a virtual private cloud (VPC). If you specify
VPCZoneIdentifier
withAvailabilityZones
, the subnets that you specify must reside in those Availability Zones.TerminationPolicies
— (Array<String>
)A policy or a list of policies that are used to select the instances to terminate. The policies are executed in the order that you list them. For more information, see Configure termination policies for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
Valid values:
Default
|AllocationStrategy
|ClosestToNextInstanceHour
|NewestInstance
|OldestInstance
|OldestLaunchConfiguration
|OldestLaunchTemplate
|arn:aws:lambda:region:account-id:function:my-function:my-alias
NewInstancesProtectedFromScaleIn
— (Boolean
)Indicates whether newly launched instances are protected from termination by Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling when scaling in. For more information about preventing instances from terminating on scale in, see Use instance scale-in protection in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
ServiceLinkedRoleARN
— (String
)The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the service-linked role that the Auto Scaling group uses to call other Amazon Web Services on your behalf. For more information, see Service-linked roles in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
MaxInstanceLifetime
— (Integer
)The maximum amount of time, in seconds, that an instance can be in service. The default is null. If specified, the value must be either 0 or a number equal to or greater than 86,400 seconds (1 day). To clear a previously set value, specify a new value of 0. For more information, see Replacing Auto Scaling instances based on maximum instance lifetime in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
CapacityRebalance
— (Boolean
)Enables or disables Capacity Rebalancing. For more information, see Use Capacity Rebalancing to handle Amazon EC2 Spot Interruptions in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
Context
— (String
)Reserved.
DesiredCapacityType
— (String
)The unit of measurement for the value specified for desired capacity. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling supports
DesiredCapacityType
for attribute-based instance type selection only. For more information, see Create a mixed instances group using attribute-based instance type selection in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.By default, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling specifies
units
, which translates into number of instances.Valid values:
units
|vcpu
|memory-mib
DefaultInstanceWarmup
— (Integer
)The amount of time, in seconds, until a new instance is considered to have finished initializing and resource consumption to become stable after it enters the
InService
state.During an instance refresh, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling waits for the warm-up period after it replaces an instance before it moves on to replacing the next instance. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling also waits for the warm-up period before aggregating the metrics for new instances with existing instances in the Amazon CloudWatch metrics that are used for scaling, resulting in more reliable usage data. For more information, see Set the default instance warmup for an Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
To manage various warm-up settings at the group level, we recommend that you set the default instance warmup, even if it is set to 0 seconds. To remove a value that you previously set, include the property but specify
-1
for the value. However, we strongly recommend keeping the default instance warmup enabled by specifying a value of0
or other nominal value.InstanceMaintenancePolicy
— (map
)An instance maintenance policy. For more information, see Set instance maintenance policy in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.
MinHealthyPercentage
— (Integer
)Specifies the lower threshold as a percentage of the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group. It represents the minimum percentage of the group to keep in service, healthy, and ready to use to support your workload when replacing instances. Value range is 0 to 100. To clear a previously set value, specify a value of
-1
.MaxHealthyPercentage
— (Integer
)Specifies the upper threshold as a percentage of the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group. It represents the maximum percentage of the group that can be in service and healthy, or pending, to support your workload when replacing instances. Value range is 100 to 200. To clear a previously set value, specify a value of
-1
.Both
MinHealthyPercentage
andMaxHealthyPercentage
must be specified, and the difference between them cannot be greater than 100. A large range increases the number of instances that can be replaced at the same time.
