Client: Aws\AutoScaling\AutoScalingClient
Service ID: autoscaling
Version: 2011-01-01

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the Auto Scaling (2011-01-01), and shows how to use the Aws\AutoScaling\AutoScalingClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2011-01-01 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

Paginators

Paginators handle automatically iterating over paginated API results. Paginators are associated with specific API operations, and they accept the parameters that the corresponding API operation accepts. You can get a paginator from a client class using getPaginator($paginatorName, $operationParameters). This client supports the following paginators:

DescribeAutoScalingGroups
DescribeAutoScalingInstances
DescribeInstanceRefreshes
DescribeLaunchConfigurations
DescribeLoadBalancerTargetGroups
DescribeLoadBalancers
DescribeNotificationConfigurations
DescribePolicies
DescribeScalingActivities
DescribeScheduledActions
DescribeTags
DescribeTrafficSources
DescribeWarmPool

Waiters

Waiters allow you to poll a resource until it enters into a desired state. A waiter has a name used to describe what it does, and is associated with an API operation. When creating a waiter, you can provide the API operation parameters associated with the corresponding operation. Waiters can be accessed using the getWaiter($waiterName, $operationParameters) method of a client object. This client supports the following waiters:

Waiter name API Operation Delay Max Attempts
GroupExists DescribeAutoScalingGroups 5 10
GroupInService DescribeAutoScalingGroups 15 40
GroupNotExists DescribeAutoScalingGroups 15 40

Operations

AttachInstances

$result = $client->attachInstances([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->attachInstancesAsync([/* ... */]);

Attaches one or more EC2 instances to the specified Auto Scaling group.

When you attach instances, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling increases the desired capacity of the group by the number of instances being attached. If the number of instances being attached plus the desired capacity of the group exceeds the maximum size of the group, the operation fails.

If there is a Classic Load Balancer attached to your Auto Scaling group, the instances are also registered with the load balancer. If there are target groups attached to your Auto Scaling group, the instances are also registered with the target groups.

For more information, see Detach or attach instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->attachInstances([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'InstanceIds' => ['<string>', ...],
]);

Parameter Details

Members
AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

InstanceIds
Type: Array of strings

The IDs of the instances. You can specify up to 20 instances.

Result Syntax

[]

Result Details

The results for this operation are always empty.

Errors

ResourceContentionFault:

You already have a pending update to an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling resource (for example, an Auto Scaling group, instance, or load balancer).

ServiceLinkedRoleFailure:

The service-linked role is not yet ready for use.

Examples

Example 1: To attach an instance to an Auto Scaling group

This example attaches the specified instance to the specified Auto Scaling group.

$result = $client->attachInstances([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => 'my-auto-scaling-group',
    'InstanceIds' => [
        'i-93633f9b',
    ],
]);

AttachLoadBalancerTargetGroups

$result = $client->attachLoadBalancerTargetGroups([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->attachLoadBalancerTargetGroupsAsync([/* ... */]);

This API operation is superseded by AttachTrafficSources, which can attach multiple traffic sources types. We recommend using AttachTrafficSources to simplify how you manage traffic sources. However, we continue to support AttachLoadBalancerTargetGroups. You can use both the original AttachLoadBalancerTargetGroups API operation and AttachTrafficSources on the same Auto Scaling group.

Attaches one or more target groups to the specified Auto Scaling group.

This operation is used with the following load balancer types:

  • Application Load Balancer - Operates at the application layer (layer 7) and supports HTTP and HTTPS.

  • Network Load Balancer - Operates at the transport layer (layer 4) and supports TCP, TLS, and UDP.

  • Gateway Load Balancer - Operates at the network layer (layer 3).

To describe the target groups for an Auto Scaling group, call the DescribeLoadBalancerTargetGroups API. To detach the target group from the Auto Scaling group, call the DetachLoadBalancerTargetGroups API.

This operation is additive and does not detach existing target groups or Classic Load Balancers from the Auto Scaling group.

For more information, see Use Elastic Load Balancing to distribute traffic across the instances in your Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->attachLoadBalancerTargetGroups([

]);

AttachLoadBalancers

$result = $client->attachLoadBalancers([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->attachLoadBalancersAsync([/* ... */]);

This API operation is superseded by AttachTrafficSources, which can attach multiple traffic sources types. We recommend using AttachTrafficSources to simplify how you manage traffic sources. However, we continue to support AttachLoadBalancers. You can use both the original AttachLoadBalancers API operation and AttachTrafficSources on the same Auto Scaling group.

CompleteLifecycleAction

$result = $client->completeLifecycleAction([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->completeLifecycleActionAsync([/* ... */]);

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:

  1. (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.

  2. (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.

  3. (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.

  4. Create the lifecycle hook. Specify whether the hook is used when the instances launch or terminate.

  5. If you need more time, record the lifecycle action heartbeat to keep the instance in a wait state.

  6. 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.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->completeLifecycleAction([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'InstanceId' => '<string>',
    'LifecycleActionResult' => '<string>', // REQUIRED

AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

InstanceId
Type: string

The ID of the instance.

LifecycleActionResult
Required: Yes
Type: string

The action for the group to take. You can specify either CONTINUE or ABANDON.

LifecycleActionToken
Type: string

A universally unique identifier (UUID) that identifies a specific lifecycle action associated with an instance. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends this token to the notification target you specified when you created the lifecycle hook.

LifecycleHookName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the lifecycle hook.

Result Syntax

[]

Result Details

The results for this operation are always empty.

Errors

ResourceContentionFault:

You already have a pending update to an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling resource (for example, an Auto Scaling group, instance, or load balancer).

CreateAutoScalingGroup

$result = $client->createAutoScalingGroup([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createAutoScalingGroupAsync([/* ... */]);

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, and MinSize). 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.

Parameter Details

Members
AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group. This name must be unique per Region per account.

The name can contain any ASCII character 33 to 126 including most punctuation characters, digits, and upper and lowercased letters.

You cannot use a colon (:) in the name.

AvailabilityZones
Type: Array of strings

A list of Availability Zones where instances in the Auto Scaling group can be created. Used for launching into the default VPC subnet in each Availability Zone when not using the VPCZoneIdentifier property, or for attaching a network interface when an existing network interface ID is specified in a launch template.

CapacityRebalance
Type: boolean

Indicates whether Capacity Rebalancing is enabled. Otherwise, Capacity Rebalancing is disabled. When you turn on Capacity Rebalancing, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling attempts to launch a Spot Instance whenever Amazon EC2 notifies that a Spot Instance is at an elevated risk of interruption. After launching a new instance, it then terminates an old instance. For more information, see Use Capacity Rebalancing to handle Amazon EC2 Spot Interruptions in the in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Context
Type: string

Reserved.

DefaultCooldown
Type: int

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.

Default: 300 seconds

DefaultInstanceWarmup
Type: int

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 of 0 or other nominal value.

Default: None

DesiredCapacity
Type: int

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.

DesiredCapacityType
Type: 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

HealthCheckGracePeriod
Type: int

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.

Default: 0 seconds

HealthCheckType
Type: string

A comma-separated value string of one or more health check types.

The valid values are EC2, EBS, ELB, and VPC_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.

InstanceId
Type: 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. To get the instance ID, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeInstances API operation. For more information, see Create an Auto Scaling group using parameters from an existing instance in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

InstanceMaintenancePolicy
Type: InstanceMaintenancePolicy structure

An instance maintenance policy. For more information, see Set instance maintenance policy in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

LaunchConfigurationName
Type: string

The name of the launch configuration to use to launch instances.

Conditional: You must specify either a launch template (LaunchTemplate or MixedInstancesPolicy) or a launch configuration (LaunchConfigurationName or InstanceId).

LaunchTemplate
Type: LaunchTemplateSpecification structure

Information used to specify the launch template and version to use to launch instances.

Conditional: You must specify either a launch template (LaunchTemplate or MixedInstancesPolicy) or a launch configuration (LaunchConfigurationName or InstanceId).

The launch template that is specified must be configured for use with an Auto Scaling group. For more information, see Create a launch template for an Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

LifecycleHookSpecificationList
Type: Array of LifecycleHookSpecification structures

One or more lifecycle hooks to add to the Auto Scaling group before instances are launched.

LoadBalancerNames
Type: Array of strings

A list of Classic Load Balancers associated with this Auto Scaling group. For Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers, and Gateway Load Balancers, specify the TargetGroupARNs property instead.

MaxInstanceLifetime
Type: int

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). For more information, see Replace Auto Scaling instances based on maximum instance lifetime in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

MaxSize
Required: Yes
Type: int

The maximum size of the group.

With a mixed instances policy that uses instance weighting, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling may need to go above MaxSize to meet your capacity requirements. In this event, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will never go above MaxSize by more than your largest instance weight (weights that define how many units each instance contributes to the desired capacity of the group).

MinSize
Required: Yes
Type: int

The minimum size of the group.

MixedInstancesPolicy
Type: MixedInstancesPolicy structure

The mixed instances policy. For more information, see Auto Scaling groups with multiple instance types and purchase options in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

NewInstancesProtectedFromScaleIn
Type: 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.

PlacementGroup
Type: string

The name of the placement group into which to launch your instances. For more information, see Placement groups in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

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.

ServiceLinkedRoleARN
Type: string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the service-linked role that the Auto Scaling group uses to call other Amazon Web Services service on your behalf. By default, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses a service-linked role named AWSServiceRoleForAutoScaling, which it creates if it does not exist. For more information, see Service-linked roles in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Tags
Type: Array of Tag structures

One or more tags. You can tag your Auto Scaling group and propagate the tags to the Amazon EC2 instances it launches. Tags are not propagated to Amazon EBS volumes. To add tags to Amazon EBS volumes, specify the tags in a launch template but use caution. If the launch template specifies an instance tag with a key that is also specified for the Auto Scaling group, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling overrides the value of that instance tag with the value specified by the Auto Scaling group. For more information, see Tag Auto Scaling groups and instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

TargetGroupARNs
Type: Array of strings

The Amazon Resource Names (ARN) of the Elastic Load Balancing target groups to associate with the Auto Scaling group. Instances are registered as targets with the target groups. The target groups receive incoming traffic and route requests to one or more registered targets. For more information, see Use Elastic Load Balancing to distribute traffic across the instances in your Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

TerminationPolicies
Type: Array of strings

A policy or a list of policies that are used to select the instance to terminate. These 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

TrafficSources
Type: Array of TrafficSourceIdentifier structures

The list of traffic sources to attach to this Auto Scaling group. You can use any of the following as traffic sources for an Auto Scaling group: Classic Load Balancer, Application Load Balancer, Gateway Load Balancer, Network Load Balancer, and VPC Lattice.

VPCZoneIdentifier
Type: string

A comma-separated list of subnet IDs for a virtual private cloud (VPC) where instances in the Auto Scaling group can be created. If you specify VPCZoneIdentifier with AvailabilityZones, the subnets that you specify must reside in those Availability Zones.

CreateLaunchConfiguration

$result = $client->createLaunchConfiguration([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createLaunchConfigurationAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates a launch configuration.

If you exceed your maximum limit of launch configurations, 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.

For more information, see Launch configurations in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling configures instances launched as part of an Auto Scaling group using either a launch template or a launch configuration. We strongly recommend that you do not use launch configurations. They do not provide full functionality for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling or Amazon EC2. For information about using launch templates, see Launch templates in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Parameter Details

Members
AssociatePublicIpAddress
Type: 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.

BlockDeviceMappings
Type: Array of BlockDeviceMapping structures

The block device mapping entries that define the block devices to attach to the instances at launch. By default, the block devices specified in the block device mapping for the AMI are used. For more information, see Block device mappings in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

Available for backward compatibility.

ClassicLinkVPCSecurityGroups
Type: Array of strings

Available for backward compatibility.

EbsOptimized
Type: 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.

IamInstanceProfile
Type: string

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.

ImageId
Type: string

The ID of the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that was assigned during registration. For more information, see Find a Linux AMI in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

If you specify InstanceId, an ImageId is not required.

InstanceId
Type: string

The ID of the instance to use to create the launch configuration. The new launch configuration derives attributes from the instance, except for the block device mapping.

To create a launch configuration with a block device mapping or override any other instance attributes, specify them as part of the same request.

For more information, see Create a launch configuration in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

InstanceMonitoring
Type: InstanceMonitoring structure

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.

InstanceType
Type: string

Specifies the instance type of the EC2 instance. For information about available instance types, see Available instance types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

If you specify InstanceId, an InstanceType is not required.

MetadataOptions
Type: InstanceMetadataOptions structure

The metadata options for the instances. For more information, see Configure the instance metadata options in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

PlacementTenancy
Type: string

The tenancy of the instance, either default or dedicated. An instance with dedicated 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 to default), you must set the value of this property to dedicated.

If you specify PlacementTenancy, you must specify at least one subnet for VPCZoneIdentifier when you create your group.

Valid values: default | dedicated

RamdiskId
Type: string

The ID of the RAM disk to select.

We recommend that you use PV-GRUB instead of kernels and RAM disks. For more information, see User provided kernels in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

SecurityGroups
Type: Array of strings

A list that contains the security group IDs to assign to the instances in the Auto Scaling group. For more information, see Control traffic to your Amazon Web Services resources using security groups in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

SpotPrice
Type: 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

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.

UserData
Type: string

The user data to make available to the launched EC2 instances. For more information, see Instance metadata and user data (Linux) and Instance metadata and user data (Windows). If you are using a command line tool, base64-encoding is performed for you, and you can load the text from a file. Otherwise, you must provide base64-encoded text. User data is limited to 16 KB.

DeleteAutoScalingGroup

$result = $client->deleteAutoScalingGroup([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->deleteAutoScalingGroupAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

For more information, see Delete your Auto Scaling infrastructure in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

DescribeInstanceRefreshes

$result = $client->describeInstanceRefreshes([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeInstanceRefreshesAsync([/* ... */]);

Gets information about the instance refreshes for the specified Auto Scaling group from the previous six weeks.

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.

To help you determine the status of an instance refresh, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling returns information about the instance refreshes you previously initiated, including their status, start time, end time, the percentage of the instance refresh that is complete, and the number of instances remaining to update before the instance refresh is complete. If a rollback is initiated while an instance refresh is in progress, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling also returns information about the rollback of the instance refresh.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->describeInstanceRefreshes([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'InstanceRefreshIds' => ['<string>', ...],
    'MaxRecords' => <integer>,

DescribeLoadBalancerTargetGroups

$result = $client->describeLoadBalancerTargetGroups([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeLoadBalancerTargetGroupsAsync([/* ... */]);

This API operation is superseded by DescribeTrafficSources, which can describe multiple traffic sources types. We recommend using DetachTrafficSources to simplify how you manage traffic sources. However, we continue to support DescribeLoadBalancerTargetGroups. You can use both the original DescribeLoadBalancerTargetGroups API operation and DescribeTrafficSources on the same Auto Scaling group.

Gets information about the Elastic Load Balancing target groups for the specified Auto Scaling group.

To determine the attachment status of the target group, use the State element in the response. When you attach a target group to an Auto Scaling group, the initial State value is Adding. The state transitions to Added after all Auto Scaling instances are registered with the target group. If Elastic Load Balancing health checks are enabled for the Auto Scaling group, the state transitions to InService after at least one Auto Scaling instance passes the health check. When the target group is in the InService 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 target group doesn't enter the InService state.

Target groups also have an InService state if you attach them in the CreateAutoScalingGroup API call. If your target group state is InService, 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. For more information, see Use Elastic Load Balancing to distribute traffic across the instances in your Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

You can use this operation to describe target groups that were attached by using AttachLoadBalancerTargetGroups, but not for target groups that were attached by using AttachTrafficSources.

DescribeLoadBalancers

$result = $client->describeLoadBalancers([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeLoadBalancersAsync([/* ... */]);

This API operation is superseded by DescribeTrafficSources, which can describe multiple traffic sources types. We recommend using DescribeTrafficSources to simplify how you manage traffic sources. However, we continue to support DescribeLoadBalancers. You can use both the original DescribeLoadBalancers API operation and DescribeTrafficSources 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 initial State value is Adding. The state transitions to Added 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 to InService after at least one Auto Scaling instance passes the health check. When the load balancer is in the InService 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 the InService state.

Load balancers also have an InService state if you attach them in the CreateAutoScalingGroup API call. If your load balancer state is InService, but it is not working properly, check the scaling activities by calling DescribeScalingActivities and take any corrective actions necessary.

DescribeScalingActivities

$result = $client->describeScalingActivities([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->describeScalingActivitiesAsync([/* ... */]);

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 is Successful. If an attempt to launch instances failed, the StatusCode value is Failed or Cancelled and the StatusMessage element in the response indicates the cause of the failure. For help interpreting the StatusMessage, see Troubleshooting Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

The metric value to compare to BreachThreshold. This enables you to execute a policy of type StepScaling and determine which step adjustment to use. For example, if the breach threshold is 50 and you want to use a step adjustment with a lower bound of 0 and an upper bound of 10, you can set the metric value to 59.

If you specify a metric value that doesn't correspond to a step adjustment for the policy, the call returns an error.

Required if the policy type is StepScaling and not supported otherwise.

PolicyName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name or ARN of the policy.

GetPredictiveScalingForecast

$result = $client->getPredictiveScalingForecast([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->getPredictiveScalingForecastAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Syntax

Errors

ResourceContentionFault:

You already have a pending update to an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling resource (for example, an Auto Scaling group, instance, or load balancer).

PutLifecycleHook

$result = $client->putLifecycleHook([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putLifecycleHookAsync([/* ... */]);

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:

  1. (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.

  2. (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.

  3. (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.

  4. Create the lifecycle hook. Specify whether the hook is used when the instances launch or terminate.

  5. If you need more time, record the lifecycle action heartbeat to keep the instance in a wait state using the RecordLifecycleActionHeartbeat API call.

  6. 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.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putLifecycleHook([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'DefaultResult' => '<string>',
    'HeartbeatTimeout' => <integer>,
    'LifecycleHookName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED

Parameter Details

Members
AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

DefaultResult
Type: string

The action the Auto Scaling group takes when the lifecycle hook timeout elapses or if an unexpected failure occurs. The default value is ABANDON.

Valid values: CONTINUE | ABANDON

HeartbeatTimeout
Type: int

The maximum time, in seconds, that can elapse before the lifecycle hook times out. The range is from 30 to 7200 seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds (1 hour).

LifecycleHookName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the lifecycle hook.

LifecycleTransition
Type: string

The lifecycle transition. For Auto Scaling groups, there are two major lifecycle transitions.

  • To create a lifecycle hook for scale-out events, specify autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_LAUNCHING.

  • To create a lifecycle hook for scale-in events, specify autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_TERMINATING.

Required for new lifecycle hooks, but optional when updating existing hooks.

NotificationMetadata
Type: string

Additional information that you want to include any time Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends a message to the notification target.

NotificationTargetARN
Type: 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".

RoleARN
Type: 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.

Parameter Details

Members
AdjustmentType
Type: string

Specifies how the scaling adjustment is interpreted (for example, an absolute number or a percentage). The valid values are ChangeInCapacity, ExactCapacity, and PercentChangeInCapacity.

Required if the policy type is StepScaling or SimpleScaling. For more information, see Scaling adjustment types in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

Cooldown
Type: int

A cooldown period, in seconds, that applies to a specific simple scaling policy. When a cooldown period is specified here, it overrides the default cooldown.

Valid only if the policy type is SimpleScaling. For more information, see Scaling cooldowns for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Default: None

Enabled
Type: boolean

Indicates whether the scaling policy is enabled or disabled. The default is enabled. For more information, see Disable a scaling policy for an Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

EstimatedInstanceWarmup
Type: int

Not needed if the default instance warmup is defined for the group.

The estimated time, in seconds, until a newly launched instance can contribute to the CloudWatch metrics. This warm-up period applies to instances launched due to a specific target tracking or step scaling policy. When a warm-up period is specified here, it overrides the default instance warmup.

Valid only if the policy type is TargetTrackingScaling or StepScaling.

The default is to use the value for the default instance warmup defined for the group. If default instance warmup is null, then EstimatedInstanceWarmup falls back to the value of default cooldown.

MetricAggregationType
Type: string

The aggregation type for the CloudWatch metrics. The valid values are Minimum, Maximum, and Average. If the aggregation type is null, the value is treated as Average.

Valid only if the policy type is StepScaling.

MinAdjustmentMagnitude
Type: int

The minimum value to scale by when the adjustment type is PercentChangeInCapacity. For example, suppose that you create a step scaling policy to scale out an Auto Scaling group by 25 percent and you specify a MinAdjustmentMagnitude of 2. If the group has 4 instances and the scaling policy is performed, 25 percent of 4 is 1. However, because you specified a MinAdjustmentMagnitude of 2, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling scales out the group by 2 instances.

Valid only if the policy type is StepScaling or SimpleScaling. For more information, see Scaling adjustment types in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Some Auto Scaling groups use instance weights. In this case, set the MinAdjustmentMagnitude to a value that is at least as large as your largest instance weight.

MinAdjustmentStep
Type: int

Available for backward compatibility. Use MinAdjustmentMagnitude instead.

PolicyName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the policy.

PolicyType
Type: string

One of the following policy types:

  • TargetTrackingScaling

  • StepScaling

  • SimpleScaling (default)

  • PredictiveScaling

PredictiveScalingConfiguration

A predictive scaling policy. Provides support for predefined and custom metrics.

Predefined metrics include CPU utilization, network in/out, and the Application Load Balancer request count.

For more information, see PredictiveScalingConfiguration in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling API Reference.

Required if the policy type is PredictiveScaling.

ScalingAdjustment
Type: int

The amount by which to scale, based on the specified adjustment type. A positive value adds to the current capacity while a negative number removes from the current capacity. For exact capacity, you must specify a non-negative value.

Required if the policy type is SimpleScaling. (Not used with any other policy type.)

StepAdjustments
Type: Array of StepAdjustment structures

A set of adjustments that enable you to scale based on the size of the alarm breach.

Required if the policy type is StepScaling. (Not used with any other policy type.)

TargetTrackingConfiguration
Type: TargetTrackingConfiguration structure

A target tracking scaling policy. Provides support for predefined or custom metrics.

The following predefined metrics are available:

  • ASGAverageCPUUtilization

  • ASGAverageNetworkIn

  • ASGAverageNetworkOut

  • ALBRequestCountPerTarget

If you specify ALBRequestCountPerTarget for the metric, you must specify the ResourceLabel property with the PredefinedMetricSpecification.

For more information, see TargetTrackingConfiguration in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling API Reference.

Required if the policy type is TargetTrackingScaling.

PutScheduledUpdateGroupAction

$result = $client->putScheduledUpdateGroupAction([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putScheduledUpdateGroupActionAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates or updates a scheduled scaling action for an Auto Scaling group.

For more information, see Scheduled scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

You can view the scheduled actions for an Auto Scaling group using the DescribeScheduledActions API call. If you are no longer using a scheduled action, you can delete it by calling the DeleteScheduledAction API.

If you try to schedule your action in the past, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling returns an error message.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putScheduledUpdateGroupAction([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'DesiredCapacity' => <integer>,
    'EndTime' => <integer || string || DateTime>,
    'MaxSize' => <integer>,

    'Time' => <integer || string || DateTime>,
    'TimeZone' => '<string>',
]);

Parameter Details

Members
AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

DesiredCapacity
Type: int

The desired capacity is the initial capacity of the Auto Scaling group after the scheduled action runs and the capacity it attempts to maintain. It can scale beyond this capacity if you add more scaling conditions.

You must specify at least one of the following properties: MaxSize, MinSize, or DesiredCapacity.

EndTime
Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The date and time for the recurring schedule to end, in UTC. For example, "2021-06-01T00:00:00Z".

MaxSize
Type: int

The maximum size of the Auto Scaling group.

MinSize
Type: int

The minimum size of the Auto Scaling group.

Recurrence
Type: string

The recurring schedule for this action. 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 StartTime and EndTime are specified with Recurrence, they form the boundaries of when the recurring action starts and stops.

Cron expressions use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) by default.

ScheduledActionName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of this scaling action.

StartTime
Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The date and time for this action to start, in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ format in UTC/GMT only and in quotes (for example, "2021-06-01T00:00:00Z").

If you specify Recurrence and StartTime, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling performs the action at this time, and then performs the action based on the specified recurrence.

Time
Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

This property is no longer used.

TimeZone
Type: string

Specifies the time zone for a cron expression. If a time zone is not provided, UTC is used by default.

Valid values are the canonical names of the IANA time zones, derived from the IANA Time Zone Database (such as Etc/GMT+9 or Pacific/Tahiti). For more information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.

Examples

Example 1: To add a scheduled action to an Auto Scaling group

This example adds the specified scheduled action to the specified Auto Scaling group.

$result = $client->putScheduledUpdateGroupAction([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => 'my-auto-scaling-group',
    'DesiredCapacity' => 4,
    'EndTime' => ,
    'MaxSize' => 6,
    'MinSize' => 2,
    'ScheduledActionName' => 'my-scheduled-action',
    'StartTime' => ,
]);

PutWarmPool

$result = $client->putWarmPool([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putWarmPoolAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates or updates a warm pool for the specified Auto Scaling group. A warm pool is a pool of pre-initialized EC2 instances that sits alongside the Auto Scaling group. Whenever your application needs to scale out, the Auto Scaling group can draw on the warm pool to meet its new desired capacity.

This operation must be called from the Region in which the Auto Scaling group was created.

You can view the instances in the warm pool using the DescribeWarmPool API call. If you are no longer using a warm pool, you can delete it by calling the DeleteWarmPool API.

For more information, see Warm pools for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putWarmPool([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'InstanceReusePolicy' => [
        'ReuseOnScaleIn' => true || false,
    ],
    'MaxGroupPreparedCapacity' => <integer>,
    'MinSize' => <integer>,
    'PoolState' => 'Stopped|Running|Hibernated',
]);

Parameter Details

Members
AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

InstanceReusePolicy
Type: InstanceReusePolicy structure

Indicates whether instances in the Auto Scaling group can be returned to the warm pool on scale in. The default is to terminate instances in the Auto Scaling group when the group scales in.

MaxGroupPreparedCapacity
Type: int

Specifies the maximum number of instances that are allowed to be in the warm pool or in any state except Terminated 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 for MaxGroupPreparedCapacity, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the difference between the MaxGroupPreparedCapacity and the desired capacity instead.

The size of the warm pool is dynamic. Only when MaxGroupPreparedCapacity and MinSize 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 MaxGroupPreparedCapacity, the capacity of the warm pool is 0, unless you specify a value for MinSize. To remove a value that you previously set, include the property but specify -1 for the value.

MinSize
Type: int

Specifies the minimum number of instances to maintain in the warm pool. This helps you to ensure that there is always a certain number of warmed instances available to handle traffic spikes. Defaults to 0 if not specified.

PoolState
Type: string

Sets the instance state to transition to after the lifecycle actions are complete. Default is Stopped.

Errors

LimitExceededFault:

You have already reached a limit for your Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling resources (for example, Auto Scaling groups, launch configurations, or lifecycle hooks). For more information, see DescribeAccountLimits in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling API Reference.

ResourceContentionFault:

You already have a pending update to an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling resource (for example, an Auto Scaling group, instance, or load balancer).

Examples

Example 1: To create a warm pool for an Auto Scaling group

This example creates a warm pool for the specified Auto Scaling group.

$result = $client->putWarmPool([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => 'my-auto-scaling-group',
    'InstanceReusePolicy' => [
        'ReuseOnScaleIn' => 1,
    ],
    'MinSize' => 30,
    'PoolState' => 'Hibernated',
]);

RecordLifecycleActionHeartbeat

$result = $client->recordLifecycleActionHeartbeat([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->recordLifecycleActionHeartbeatAsync([/* ... */]);

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:

  1. (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.

  2. (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.

  3. (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.

  4. Create the lifecycle hook. Specify whether the hook is used when the instances launch or terminate.

  5. If you need more time, record the lifecycle action heartbeat to keep the instance in a wait state.

  6. 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.

RollbackInstanceRefresh

$result = $client->rollbackInstanceRefresh([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->rollbackInstanceRefreshAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

  • The Auto Scaling group uses the launch template's $Latest or $Default version.

When you receive a successful response from this operation, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling immediately begins replacing instances. You can check the status of this operation through the DescribeInstanceRefreshes API operation.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->rollbackInstanceRefresh([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

SetDesiredCapacity

$result = $client->setDesiredCapacity([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->setDesiredCapacityAsync([/* ... */]);

Sets the size of the specified Auto Scaling group.

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.

    'ProtectedFromScaleIn' => ,
]);

StartInstanceRefresh

$result = $client->startInstanceRefresh([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->startInstanceRefreshAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Details

Members
AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

DesiredConfiguration
Type: DesiredConfiguration structure

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.

When you specify a new launch template or a new version of the current launch template for your desired configuration, consider enabling the SkipMatching 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.

Preferences
Type: RefreshPreferences structure

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

Strategy
Type: string

The strategy to use for the instance refresh. The only valid value is Rolling.

If you suspend either the Launch or Terminate process types, it can prevent other process types from functioning properly. For more information, see Suspend and resume Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling processes in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

To resume processes that have been suspended, call the ResumeProcesses API.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->suspendProcesses([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'ScalingProcesses' => ['<string>', ...],
]);

Parameter Details

Members
AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

ScalingProcesses
Type: Array of strings

One or more of the following processes:

  • Launch

  • Terminate

  • AddToLoadBalancer

  • AlarmNotification

  • AZRebalance

  • HealthCheck

  • InstanceRefresh

  • ReplaceUnhealthy

  • ScheduledActions

If you omit this property, all processes are specified.

Result Syntax

[]

Result Details

The results for this operation are always empty.

Errors

ResourceInUseFault:

The operation can't be performed because the resource is in use.

ResourceContentionFault:

You already have a pending update to an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling resource (for example, an Auto Scaling group, instance, or load balancer).

Examples

Example 1: To suspend Auto Scaling processes

This example suspends the specified scaling process for the specified Auto Scaling group.

$result = $client->suspendProcesses([
    'AutoScalingGroupName' => 'my-auto-scaling-group',
    'ScalingProcesses' => [
        'AlarmNotification',
    ],
]);

TerminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroup

$result = $client->terminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroup([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->terminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroupAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->terminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroup([
    'InstanceId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'ShouldDecrementDesiredCapacity' => true || false, // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members
InstanceId
Required: Yes
Type: string

The ID of the instance.

ShouldDecrementDesiredCapacity
Required: Yes
Type: boolean

Indicates whether terminating the instance also decrements the size of the Auto Scaling group.

Result Details

Members
Activity
Type: Activity structure

A scaling activity.

Errors

ScalingActivityInProgressFault:

The operation can't be performed because there are scaling activities in progress.

ResourceContentionFault:

You already have a pending update to an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling resource (for example, an Auto Scaling group, instance, or load balancer).

Examples

Example 1: To terminate an instance in an Auto Scaling group

This example terminates the specified instance from the specified Auto Scaling group without updating the size of the group. Auto Scaling launches a replacement instance after the specified instance terminates.

$result = $client->terminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroup([
    'InstanceId' => 'i-93633f9b',
    'ShouldDecrementDesiredCapacity' => ,
]);

UpdateAutoScalingGroup

$result = $client->updateAutoScalingGroup([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateAutoScalingGroupAsync([/* ... */]);

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, or MinSize:

  • 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 for DesiredCapacity, and the new MinSize is larger than the current size of the group, this sets the group's DesiredCapacity to the new MinSize value.

  • If you specify a new value for MaxSize without specifying a value for DesiredCapacity, and the new MaxSize is smaller than the current size of the group, this sets the group's DesiredCapacity to the new MaxSize 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.

Parameter Details

Members
AutoScalingGroupName
Required: Yes
Type: string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

AvailabilityZones
Type: Array of strings

One or more Availability Zones for the group.

CapacityRebalance
Type: 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
Type: string

Reserved.

DefaultCooldown
Type: int

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.

DefaultInstanceWarmup
Type: int

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 of 0 or other nominal value.

DesiredCapacity
Type: int

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.

DesiredCapacityType
Type: 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

HealthCheckGracePeriod
Type: int

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.

HealthCheckType
Type: string

A comma-separated value string of one or more health check types.

The valid values are EC2, EBS, ELB, and VPC_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.

Type: string

The name of the launch configuration. If you specify LaunchConfigurationName in your update request, you can't specify LaunchTemplate or MixedInstancesPolicy.

LaunchTemplate
Type: LaunchTemplateSpecification structure

The launch template and version to use to specify the updates. If you specify LaunchTemplate in your update request, you can't specify LaunchConfigurationName or MixedInstancesPolicy.

MaxInstanceLifetime
Type: int

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.

MaxSize
Type: int

The maximum size of the Auto Scaling group.

With a mixed instances policy that uses instance weighting, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling may need to go above MaxSize to meet your capacity requirements. In this event, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will never go above MaxSize by more than your largest instance weight (weights that define how many units each instance contributes to the desired capacity of the group).

MinSize
Type: int

The minimum size of the Auto Scaling group.

MixedInstancesPolicy
Type: MixedInstancesPolicy structure

The mixed instances policy. For more information, see Auto Scaling groups with multiple instance types and purchase options in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

NewInstancesProtectedFromScaleIn
Type: 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.

PlacementGroup
Type: 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.

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.

ServiceLinkedRoleARN
Type: 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.

TerminationPolicies
Type: Array of strings

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

VPCZoneIdentifier
Type: string

A comma-separated list of subnet IDs for a virtual private cloud (VPC). If you specify VPCZoneIdentifier with AvailabilityZones, the subnets that you specify must reside in those Availability Zones.

CustomizedMetricSpecification

Description

Represents a CloudWatch metric of your choosing for a target tracking scaling policy to use with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.

To create your customized metric specification:

MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice
Type: int

[Price protection] The price protection threshold for Spot Instances, as a percentage of an identified On-Demand price. The identified On-Demand price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.

The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling interprets as a percentage.

If you set DesiredCapacityType to vcpu or memory-mib, the price protection threshold is based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per instance price.

Only one of SpotMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice or MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice can be specified. If you don't specify either, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will automatically apply optimal price protection to consistently select from a wide range of instance types. To indicate no price protection threshold for Spot Instances, meaning you want to consider all instance types that match your attributes, include one of these parameters and specify a high value, such as 999999.

MemoryGiBPerVCpu

Default: No minimum or maximum limits

OnDemandMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice
Type: int

[Price protection] The price protection threshold for On-Demand Instances, as a percentage higher than an identified On-Demand price. The identified On-Demand price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.

The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling interprets as a percentage.

To turn off price protection, specify a high value, such as 999999.

If you set DesiredCapacityType to vcpu or memory-mib, the price protection threshold is applied based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per instance price.

Default: 20

RequireHibernateSupport
Type: boolean

Indicates whether instance types must provide On-Demand Instance hibernation support.

Default: false

SpotMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice
Type: int

[Price protection] The price protection threshold for Spot Instances, as a percentage higher than an identified Spot price. The identified Spot price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes. If no current generation C, M, or R instance type matches your attributes, then the identified price is from either the lowest priced current generation instance types or, failing that, the lowest priced previous generation instance types that match your attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price exceeds your specified threshold.

The parameter accepts an integer, which Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling interprets as a percentage.

If you set DesiredCapacityType to vcpu or memory-mib, the price protection threshold is based on the per-vCPU or per-memory price instead of the per instance price.

Only one of SpotMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice or MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice can be specified. If you don't specify either, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will automatically apply optimal price protection to consistently select from a wide range of instance types. To indicate no price protection threshold for Spot Instances, meaning you want to consider all instance types that match your attributes, include one of these parameters and specify a high value, such as 999999.

Description

Use this structure to specify the distribution of On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances and the allocation strategies used to fulfill On-Demand and Spot capacities for a mixed instances policy.

Members
OnDemandAllocationStrategy
Type: 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
Type: int

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
Type: int

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
Type: 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
Type: int

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 is lowest-price. Value must be in the range of 1–20.

Default: 2

SpotMaxPrice
Type: 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

InvalidNextToken

Description

The NextToken value is not valid.

Members
LaunchTemplateSpecification
Type: LaunchTemplateSpecification structure

The launch template.

Overrides
Type: Array of LaunchTemplateOverrides structures

Any properties that you specify override the same properties in the launch template.

LaunchTemplateOverrides

Description

Use this structure to let Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling do the following when the Auto Scaling group has a mixed instances policy:

  • Override the instance type that is specified in the launch template.

  • Use multiple instance types.

Specify the instance types that you want, or define your instance requirements instead and let Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling provision the available instance types that meet your requirements. This can provide Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling with a larger selection of instance types to choose from when fulfilling Spot and On-Demand capacities. You can view which instance types are matched before you apply the instance requirements to your Auto Scaling group.

After you define your instance requirements, you don't have to keep updating these settings to get new EC2 instance types automatically. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the instance requirements of the Auto Scaling group to determine whether a new EC2 instance type can be used.

Members
InstanceRequirements
Type: InstanceRequirements structure

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.

If you specify InstanceRequirements, you can't specify InstanceType.

InstanceType
Type: 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.

LaunchTemplateSpecification
Type: LaunchTemplateSpecification structure

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.

WeightedCapacity
Type: 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 for WeightedCapacity for all of them.

Every Auto Scaling group has three size parameters (DesiredCapacity, MaxSize, and MinSize). 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.

Represents a predefined metric for a target tracking scaling policy to use with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.

Members
PredefinedMetricType
Required: Yes
Type: string

The metric type. The following predefined metrics are available:

  • ASGAverageCPUUtilization - Average CPU utilization of the Auto Scaling group.

  • ASGAverageNetworkIn - Average number of bytes received on all network interfaces by the Auto Scaling group.

  • ASGAverageNetworkOut - Average number of bytes sent out on all network interfaces by the Auto Scaling group.

  • ALBRequestCountPerTarget - Average Application Load Balancer request count per target for your Auto Scaling group.

ResourceLabel
Type: string

A label that uniquely identifies a specific Application Load Balancer target group from which to determine the average request count served by your Auto Scaling group. You can't specify a resource label unless the target group is attached to the Auto Scaling group.

You create the resource label by appending the final portion of the load balancer ARN and the final portion of the target group ARN into a single value, separated by a forward slash (/). The format of the resource label is:

app/my-alb/778d41231b141a0f/targetgroup/my-alb-target-group/943f017f100becff.

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.

To find the ARN for an Application Load Balancer, use the DescribeLoadBalancers API operation. To find the ARN for the target group, use the DescribeTargetGroups API operation.

PredictiveScalingConfiguration

Description

Represents a predictive scaling policy configuration to use with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.

Members
MaxCapacityBreachBehavior
Type: 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 for MaxCapacityBuffer.

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.

MaxCapacityBuffer
Type: int

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 to IncreaseMaxCapacity, and cannot be used otherwise.

MetricSpecifications
Required: Yes
Type: Array of PredictiveScalingMetricSpecification structures

This structure includes the metrics and target utilization to use for predictive scaling.

This is an array, but we currently only support a single metric specification. That is, you can specify a target value and a single metric pair, or a target value and one scaling metric and one load metric.

Mode
Type: string

The predictive scaling mode. Defaults to ForecastOnly if not specified.

SchedulingBufferTime
Type: int

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.

PredictiveScalingCustomizedCapacityMetric

PredictiveScalingMetricSpecification

Description

This structure specifies the metrics and target utilization settings for a predictive scaling policy.

You must specify either a metric pair, or a load metric and a scaling metric individually. Specifying a metric pair instead of individual metrics provides a simpler way to configure metrics for a scaling policy. You choose the metric pair, and the policy automatically knows the correct sum and average statistics to use for the load metric and the scaling metric.

Example

  • You create a predictive scaling policy and specify ALBRequestCount as the value for the metric pair and 1000.0 as the target value. For this type of metric, you must provide the metric dimension for the corresponding target group, so you also provide a resource label for the Application Load Balancer target group that is attached to your Auto Scaling group.

  • The number of requests the target group receives per minute provides the load metric, and the request count averaged between the members of the target group provides the scaling metric. In CloudWatch, this refers to the RequestCount and RequestCountPerTarget metrics, respectively.

  • For optimal use of predictive scaling, you adhere to the best practice of using a dynamic scaling policy to automatically scale between the minimum capacity and maximum capacity in response to real-time changes in resource utilization.

  • Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling consumes data points for the load metric over the last 14 days and creates an hourly load forecast for predictive scaling. (A minimum of 24 hours of data is required.)

  • After creating the load forecast, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling determines when to reduce or increase the capacity of your Auto Scaling group in each hour of the forecast period so that the average number of requests received by each instance is as close to 1000 requests per minute as possible at all times.

For information about using custom metrics with predictive scaling, see Advanced predictive scaling policy configurations using custom metrics in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

TargetValue
Required: Yes
Type: double

Specifies the target utilization.

Some metrics are based on a count instead of a percentage, such as the request count for an Application Load Balancer or the number of messages in an SQS queue. If the scaling policy specifies one of these metrics, specify the target utilization as the optimal average request or message count per instance during any one-minute interval.

PredictiveScalingPredefinedLoadMetric

Description

Describes a load metric for a predictive scaling policy.

When returned in the output of DescribePolicies, it indicates that a predictive scaling policy uses individually specified load and scaling metrics instead of a metric pair.

Members

ResourceLabel
Type: string

A label that uniquely identifies a specific Application Load Balancer target group from which to determine the request count served by your Auto Scaling group. You can't specify a resource label unless the target group is attached to the Auto Scaling group.

You create the resource label by appending the final portion of the load balancer ARN and the final portion of the target group ARN into a single value, separated by a forward slash (/). The format of the resource label is:

app/my-alb/778d41231b141a0f/targetgroup/my-alb-target-group/943f017f100becff.

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.

To find the ARN for an Application Load Balancer, use the DescribeLoadBalancers API operation. To find the ARN for the target group, use the DescribeTargetGroups API operation.

PredictiveScalingPredefinedMetricPair

Description

Represents a metric pair for a predictive scaling policy.

Members
PredefinedMetricType
Required: Yes
Type: string

Indicates which metrics to use. There are two different types of metrics for each metric type: one is a load metric and one is a scaling metric. For example, if the metric type is ASGCPUUtilization, the Auto Scaling group's total CPU metric is used as the load metric, and the average CPU metric is used for the scaling metric.

ResourceLabel
Type: string

A label that uniquely identifies a specific Application Load Balancer target group from which to determine the total and average request count served by your Auto Scaling group. You can't specify a resource label unless the target group is attached to the Auto Scaling group.

You create the resource label by appending the final portion of the load balancer ARN and the final portion of the target group ARN into a single value, separated by a forward slash (/). The format of the resource label is:

app/my-alb/778d41231b141a0f/targetgroup/my-alb-target-group/943f017f100becff.

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.

To find the ARN for an Application Load Balancer, use the DescribeLoadBalancers API operation. To find the ARN for the target group, use the DescribeTargetGroups API operation.

AutoRollback
Type: 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.

CheckpointDelay
Type: int

(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 for CheckpointPercentages and not for CheckpointDelay, the CheckpointDelay defaults to 3600 (1 hour).

CheckpointPercentages
Type: Array of ints

(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.

InstanceWarmup
Type: int

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. The InstanceWarmup and DefaultInstanceWarmup properties work the same way. Only specify this property if you must override the DefaultInstanceWarmup 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 the HealthCheckGracePeriod property otherwise.

MaxHealthyPercentage
Type: int

Specifies the maximum percentage of the group that can be in service and healthy, or pending, to support your workload when replacing instances. The value is expressed as a percentage of the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group. Value range is 100 to 200.

If you specify MaxHealthyPercentage, you must also specify MinHealthyPercentage, and the difference between them cannot be greater than 100. A larger range increases the number of instances that can be replaced at the same time.

If you do not specify this property, the default is 100 percent, or the percentage set in the instance maintenance policy for the Auto Scaling group, if defined.

MinHealthyPercentage
Type: int

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.

ScaleInProtectedInstances
Type: 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.

SkipMatching
Type: 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 is false.

For more information, see Use an instance refresh with skip matching in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

StandbyInstances
Type: string

Choose the behavior that you want Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to use if instances in Standby state are found.

The following lists the valid values:

Terminate

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling terminates instances that are in Standby.

Ignore

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling ignores instances that are in Standby and continues to replace instances that are in the InService state.

Wait (default)

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling waits one hour for you to return the instances to service. Otherwise, the instance refresh will fail.

StepAdjustment

Description

Describes information used to create a step adjustment for a step scaling policy.

For the following examples, suppose that you have an alarm with a breach threshold of 50:

  • To trigger the adjustment when the metric is greater than or equal to 50 and less than 60, specify a lower bound of 0 and an upper bound of 10.

  • To trigger the adjustment when the metric is greater than 40 and less than or equal to 50, specify a lower bound of -10 and an upper bound of 0.

There are a few rules for the step adjustments for your step policy:

  • The ranges of your step adjustments can't overlap or have a gap.

  • At most, one step adjustment can have a null lower bound. If one step adjustment has a negative lower bound, then there must be a step adjustment with a null lower bound.

  • At most, one step adjustment can have a null upper bound. If one step adjustment has a positive upper bound, then there must be a step adjustment with a null upper bound.

  • The upper and lower bound can't be null in the same step adjustment.

For more information, see Step adjustments in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide.

Members
MetricIntervalLowerBound
Type: double

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
Type: double

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).

Type: string

Identifies the traffic source.

For Application Load Balancers, Gateway Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers, and VPC Lattice, this will be the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for a target group in this account and Region. For Classic Load Balancers, this will be the name of the Classic Load Balancer in this account and Region.

For example:

  • Application Load Balancer ARN: arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/my-targets/1234567890123456

  • Classic Load Balancer name: my-classic-load-balancer

  • VPC Lattice ARN: arn:aws:vpc-lattice:us-west-2:123456789012:targetgroup/tg-1234567890123456

To get the ARN of a target group for a Application Load Balancer, Gateway Load Balancer, or Network Load Balancer, or the name of a Classic Load Balancer, use the Elastic Load Balancing DescribeTargetGroups and DescribeLoadBalancers API operations.

To get the ARN of a target group for VPC Lattice, use the VPC Lattice GetTargetGroup API operation.

Type
Type: string

Provides additional context for the value of Identifier.

The following lists the valid values:

  • elb if Identifier is the name of a Classic Load Balancer.

  • elbv2 if Identifier is the ARN of an Application Load Balancer, Gateway Load Balancer, or Network Load Balancer target group.

  • vpc-lattice if Identifier is the ARN of a VPC Lattice target group.

Required if the identifier is the name of a Classic Load Balancer.

TrafficSourceState

Description

Describes the state of a traffic source.

Members
Identifier
Type: string

The unique identifier of the traffic source.

State
Type: string

Describes the current state of a traffic source.

The state values are as follows:

  • Adding - The Auto Scaling instances are being registered with the load balancer or target group.

  • Added - All Auto Scaling instances are registered with the load balancer or target group.

  • InService - For an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer or target group, at least one Auto Scaling instance passed an ELB health check. For VPC Lattice, at least one Auto Scaling instance passed an VPC_LATTICE health check.

  • Removing - The Auto Scaling instances are being deregistered from the load balancer or target group. If connection draining (deregistration delay) is enabled, Elastic Load Balancing or VPC Lattice waits for in-flight requests to complete before deregistering the instances.

  • Removed - All Auto Scaling instances are deregistered from the load balancer or target group.
