Request Parameters
For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

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

Type: Integer
Required: No
- MinSize
-
The minimum size of the Auto Scaling group.
Type: Integer
Required: No
- Recurrence
-
The recurring schedule for this action, in Unix cron syntax format. This format consists of five fields separated by white spaces: [Minute] [Hour] [Day_of_Month] [Month_of_Year] [Day_of_Week]. The value must be in quotes (for example,
"30 0 1 1,6,12 *"). For more information about this format, see Crontab. When
StartTimeandEndTimeare specified withRecurrence, they form the boundaries of when the recurring action starts and stops.Type: String
