ScalingPolicy

Represents a scaling policy to use with Application Auto Scaling.

For more information about configuring scaling policies for a specific service, see Getting started with Application Auto Scaling in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide.

Alarms

The CloudWatch alarms associated with the scaling policy.

Type: Array of Alarm objects

Required: No

CreationTime

The Unix timestamp for when the scaling policy was created.

Type: Timestamp

Required: Yes

PolicyARN

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the scaling policy.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1600.

Pattern: [\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF\r\n\t]*

Pattern: \p{Print}+

Required: Yes

PolicyType

The scaling policy type.

Type: String

Valid Values: StepScaling | TargetTrackingScaling

Required: Yes

ResourceId

The identifier of the resource associated with the scaling policy. This string consists of the resource type and unique identifier.

ECS service - The resource type is service and the unique identifier is the cluster name and service name. Example: service/default/sample-webapp.
Spot Fleet request - The resource type is spot-fleet-request and the unique identifier is the Spot Fleet request ID. Example: spot-fleet-request/sfr-73fbd2ce-aa30-494c-8788-1cee4EXAMPLE.
EMR cluster - The resource type is instancegroup and the unique identifier is the cluster ID and instance group ID. Example: instancegroup/j-2EEZNYKUA1NTV/ig-1791Y4E1L8YI0.
AppStream 2.0 fleet - The resource type is fleet and the unique identifier is the fleet name. Example: fleet/sample-fleet.
DynamoDB table - The resource type is table and the unique identifier is the table name. Example: table/my-table.
DynamoDB global secondary index - The resource type is index and the unique identifier is the index name. Example: table/my-table/index/my-table-index.
Aurora DB cluster - The resource type is cluster and the unique identifier is the cluster name. Example: cluster:my-db-cluster.
Amazon SageMaker endpoint variant - The resource type is variant and the unique identifier is the resource ID. Example: endpoint/my-end-point/variant/KMeansClustering.
Custom resources are not supported with a resource type. This parameter must specify the OutputValue from the CloudFormation template stack used to access the resources. The unique identifier is defined by the service provider. More information is available in our GitHub repository.
Amazon Comprehend document classification endpoint - The resource type and unique identifier are specified using the endpoint ARN. Example: arn:aws:comprehend:us-west-2:123456789012:document-classifier-endpoint/EXAMPLE.
Amazon Comprehend entity recognizer endpoint - The resource type and unique identifier are specified using the endpoint ARN. Example: arn:aws:comprehend:us-west-2:123456789012:entity-recognizer-endpoint/EXAMPLE.
Lambda provisioned concurrency - The resource type is function and the unique identifier is the function name with a function version or alias name suffix that is not $LATEST. Example: function:my-function:prod or function:my-function:1.
Amazon Keyspaces table - The resource type is table and the unique identifier is the table name. Example: keyspace/mykeyspace/table/mytable.
Amazon MSK cluster - The resource type and unique identifier are specified using the cluster ARN. Example: arn:aws:kafka:us-east-1:123456789012:cluster/demo-cluster-1/6357e0b2-0e6a-4b86-a0b4-70df934c2e31-5.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1600.

Pattern: [\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF\r\n\t]*

Required: Yes

ScalableDimension

The scalable dimension. This string consists of the service namespace, resource type, and scaling property.

ecs:service:DesiredCount - The desired task count of an ECS service.
ec2:spot-fleet-request:TargetCapacity - The target capacity of a Spot Fleet request.
elasticmapreduce:instancegroup:InstanceCount - The instance count of an EMR Instance Group.
appstream:fleet:DesiredCapacity - The desired capacity of an AppStream 2.0 fleet.
dynamodb:table:ReadCapacityUnits - The provisioned read capacity for a DynamoDB table.
