2021/10/14 - Auto Scaling - 1 updated api methods
Changes Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now supports filtering describe Auto Scaling groups API using tags
{'Filters': [{'Name': 'string', 'Values': ['string']}]}
Gets information about the Auto Scaling groups in the account and Region.
If you specify Auto Scaling group names, the output includes information for only the specified Auto Scaling groups. If you specify filters, the output includes information for only those Auto Scaling groups that meet the filter criteria. If you do not specify group names or filters, the output includes information for all Auto Scaling groups.
This operation also returns information about instances in Auto Scaling groups. To retrieve information about the instances in a warm pool, you must call the DescribeWarmPool API.

The names of the Auto Scaling groups. By default, you can only specify up to 50 names. You can optionally increase this limit using the MaxRecords parameter.
If you omit this parameter, all Auto Scaling groups are described.
(string) --
string
The token for the next set of items to return. (You received this token from a previous call.)
integer
The maximum number of items to return with this call. The default value is 50 and the maximum value is 100 .
list
One or more filters to limit the results based on specific tags.
(dict) --
Describes a filter that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation.
If you specify multiple filters, the filters are joined with an AND , and the request returns only results that match all of the specified filters.
For more information, see Tagging Auto Scaling groups and instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
Name (string) --
The name of the filter.
The valid values for Name depend on the API operation that you are including the filter in, DescribeAutoScalingGroups or DescribeTags .
DescribeAutoScalingGroups
Valid values for Name include the following:
tag-key - Accepts tag keys. The results will only include information about the Auto Scaling groups associated with these tag keys.
tag-value - Accepts tag values. The results will only include information about the Auto Scaling groups associated with these tag values.
tag:<key> - Accepts the key/value combination of the tag. Use the tag key in the filter name and the tag value as the filter value. The results will only include information about the Auto Scaling groups associated with the specified key/value combination.
DescribeTags
Valid values for Name include the following:
auto-scaling-group - Accepts the names of Auto Scaling groups. The results will only include information about the tags associated with these Auto Scaling groups.
key - Accepts tag keys. The results will only include information about the tags associated with these tag keys.
value - Accepts tag values. The results will only include information about the tags associated with these tag values.
propagate-at-launch - Accepts a boolean value, which specifies whether tags propagate to instances at launch. The results will only include information about the tags associated with the specified boolean value.
Values (list) --
One or more filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive.
If you specify multiple values for a filter, the values are joined with an OR , and the request returns all results that match any of the specified values. For example, specify "tag:environment" for the filter name and "production,development" for the filter values to find Auto Scaling groups with the tag "environment=production" or "environment=development".

Overrides (list) --
Any properties that you specify override the same properties in the launch template. If not provided, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the instance type specified in the launch template when it launches an instance.
(dict) --
Describes an override for a launch template. The maximum number of instance types that can be associated with an Auto Scaling group is 40. The maximum number of distinct launch templates you can define for an Auto Scaling group is 20. For more information about configuring overrides, see Configuring overrides in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
InstanceType (string) --
The instance type, such as m3.xlarge . You must use an instance type that is supported in your requested Region and Availability Zones. For more information, see Instance types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
WeightedCapacity (string) --
The number of capacity units provided by the specified instance type in terms of virtual CPUs, memory, storage, throughput, or other relative performance characteristic. When a Spot or On-Demand Instance is provisioned, the capacity units count toward the desired capacity. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling provisions instances until the desired capacity is totally fulfilled, even if this results in an overage. For example, if there are 2 units remaining to fulfill capacity, and Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can only provision an instance with a WeightedCapacity of 5 units, the instance is provisioned, and the desired capacity is exceeded by 3 units. For more information, see Instance weighting for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide . Value must be in the range of 1 to 999.
LaunchTemplateSpecification (dict) --
Provides the launch template to be used when launching the instance type. 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 defined for your mixed instances policy. For more information, see Specifying a different launch template for an instance type in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
LaunchTemplateId (string) --
The ID of the launch template. To get the template ID, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName .
LaunchTemplateName (string) --
The name of the launch template. To get the template name, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplates API operation. New launch templates can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplate API.
Conditional: You must specify either a LaunchTemplateId or a LaunchTemplateName .
Version (string) --
The version number, $Latest , or $Default . To get the version number, use the Amazon EC2 DescribeLaunchTemplateVersions API operation. New launch template versions can be created using the Amazon EC2 CreateLaunchTemplateVersion API. If the value is $Latest , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the latest version of the launch template when launching instances. If the value is $Default , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the default version of the launch template when launching instances. The default value is $Default .
InstancesDistribution (dict) --
Specifies the instances distribution. If not provided, the value for each property in InstancesDistribution uses a default value.
OnDemandAllocationStrategy (string) --
Indicates how to allocate instance types to fulfill On-Demand capacity. The only valid value is prioritized , which is also the default value. This strategy uses the order of instance types in the LaunchTemplateOverrides to define the launch priority of each instance type. The first instance type in the array is prioritized higher than the last. If all your On-Demand capacity cannot be fulfilled using your highest priority instance, then the Auto Scaling groups launches the remaining capacity using the second priority instance type, and so on.
OnDemandBaseCapacity (integer) --
The minimum amount of the Auto Scaling group's capacity that must be fulfilled by On-Demand Instances. This base portion is provisioned first as your group scales. Defaults to 0 if not specified. If you specify weights for the instance types in the overrides, set the value of OnDemandBaseCapacity in terms of the number of capacity units, and not the number of instances.
OnDemandPercentageAboveBaseCapacity (integer) --
Controls the percentages of On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances for your additional capacity beyond OnDemandBaseCapacity . Expressed as a number (for example, 20 specifies 20% On-Demand Instances, 80% Spot Instances). Defaults to 100 if not specified. If set to 100, only On-Demand Instances are provisioned.
SpotAllocationStrategy (string) --
Indicates how to allocate instances across Spot Instance pools.
If the allocation strategy is lowest-price , the Auto Scaling group launches instances using the Spot pools with the lowest price, and evenly allocates your instances across the number of Spot pools that you specify. Defaults to lowest-price if not specified.
If the allocation strategy is capacity-optimized (recommended), the Auto Scaling group launches instances using Spot pools that are optimally chosen based on the available Spot capacity. Alternatively, you can use capacity-optimized-prioritized and set the order of instance types in the list of 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.
SpotInstancePools (integer) --
The number of Spot Instance pools across which to allocate your Spot Instances. The Spot pools are determined from the different instance types in the overrides. Valid only when the Spot allocation strategy is lowest-price . Value must be in the range of 1 to 20. Defaults to 2 if not specified.
SpotMaxPrice (string) --
The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. If you leave the value at its default (empty), Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the On-Demand price as the maximum Spot price. To remove a value that you previously set, include the property but specify an empty string ("") for the value.
MinSize (integer) --
The minimum size of the group.
MaxSize (integer) --
The maximum size of the group.
DesiredCapacity (integer) --
The desired size of the group.
