You can use strings with one or more wild cards, represented by an asterisk (*), to allow an instance type, size, or generation. The following are examples: m5.8xlarge, c5*.*, m5a.*, r*, *3*.

For example, if you specify c5*, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will allow the entire C5 instance family, which includes all C5a and C5n instance types. If you specify m5a.*, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will allow all the M5a instance types, but not the M5n instance types.

Default: Any manufacturer

Gets and sets the property ExcludedInstanceTypes.

The instance types to exclude. You can use strings with one or more wild cards, represented by an asterisk (*), to exclude an instance family, type, size, or generation. The following are examples: m5.8xlarge, c5*.*, m5a.*, r*, *3*.

For example, if you specify c5*, you are excluding the entire C5 instance family, which includes all C5a and C5n instance types. If you specify m5a.*, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will exclude all the M5a instance types, but not the M5n instance types.

Default: No excluded instance types

Gets and sets the property InstanceGenerations.

Indicates whether current or previous generation instance types are included.

• For current generation instance types, specify current. The current generation includes EC2 instance types currently recommended for use. This typically includes the latest two to three generations in each instance family. For more information, see Instance types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

• For previous generation instance types, specify previous.

Default: Any current or previous generation

Gets and sets the property LocalStorage.

Indicates whether instance types with instance store volumes are included, excluded, or required. For more information, see Amazon EC2 instance store in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

Default: included

Gets and sets the property LocalStorageTypes.

Indicates the type of local storage that is required.

• For instance types with hard disk drive (HDD) storage, specify hdd.

• For instance types with solid state drive (SSD) storage, specify ssd.

Default: Any local storage type

Gets and sets the property MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice.

[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.

Gets and sets the property MemoryGiBPerVCpu.

The minimum and maximum amount of memory per vCPU for an instance type, in GiB.

Default: No minimum or maximum limits

Gets and sets the property MemoryMiB.

The minimum and maximum instance memory size for an instance type, in MiB.

Gets and sets the property NetworkBandwidthGbps.

The minimum and maximum amount of network bandwidth, in gigabits per second (Gbps).

Default: No minimum or maximum limits

Gets and sets the property NetworkInterfaceCount.

The minimum and maximum number of network interfaces for an instance type.

Default: No minimum or maximum limits

Gets and sets the property OnDemandMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice.

[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

Gets and sets the property RequireHibernateSupport.

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

Default: false

Gets and sets the property SpotMaxPricePercentageOverLowestPrice.

[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.

Gets and sets the property TotalLocalStorageGB.

The minimum and maximum total local storage size for an instance type, in GB.

Default: No minimum or maximum limits

Gets and sets the property VCpuCount.

The minimum and maximum number of vCPUs for an instance type.
