2022/04/19 - Auto Scaling - 3 updated api methods
Changes EC2 Auto Scaling now adds default instance warm-up times for all scaling activities, health check replacements, and other replacement events in the Auto Scaling instance lifecycle.
{'DefaultInstanceWarmup': 'integer'}
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 Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling service quotas in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
For introductory exercises for creating an Auto Scaling group, see Getting started with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling and Tutorial: Set up a scaled and load-balanced application in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide . For more information, see Auto Scaling groups in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
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.

WeightedCapacity (string) --
The number of capacity units provided by the instance type specified in InstanceType 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 Configuring instance weighting for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide . Value must be in the range of 1–999.
LaunchTemplateSpecification (dict) --
Provides a launch template for the specified instance type or instance requirements. For example, some instance types might require a launch template with a different AMI.

The price protection threshold for Spot Instances. This is the maximum you’ll pay for a Spot Instance, expressed as a percentage higher than the cheapest M, C, or R instance type with your specified attributes. When Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects instance types with your attributes, we will exclude instance types whose price is higher than your 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: 100

Specifies the instances distribution.
OnDemandAllocationStrategy (string) --
The order of the launch template overrides to use in fulfilling On-Demand capacity.
If you specify lowest-price , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses price to determine the order, launching the lowest price first.
If you specify prioritized , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the priority that you assigned to each launch template override, launching the highest priority first. If all your On-Demand capacity cannot be fulfilled using your highest priority instance, then Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches the remaining capacity using the second priority instance type, and so on.
Default: lowest-price for Auto Scaling groups that specify InstanceRequirements in the overrides and prioritized for Auto Scaling groups that don't.
OnDemandBaseCapacity (integer) --
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.
If you specify weights for the instance types in the overrides, the base capacity is measured in the same unit of measurement as the instance types. If you specify InstanceRequirements in the overrides, the base capacity is measured in the same unit of measurement as your group's desired capacity.
Default: 0
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). If set to 100, only On-Demand Instances are used.
Default: 100
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.
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.
Default: lowest-price
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 1–20.
Default: 2
SpotMaxPrice (string) --
The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. If you keep the value at its default (unspecified), 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.
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 Creating an Auto Scaling group using an EC2 instance in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
integer
[REQUIRED]
The minimum size of the group.
integer
[REQUIRED]
The maximum size of the group.
Note
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).
integer
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.
integer
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
list
A list of Availability Zones where instances in the Auto Scaling group can be created. This parameter is optional if you specify one or more subnets for VPCZoneIdentifier .
Conditional: If your account supports EC2-Classic and VPC, this parameter is required to launch instances into EC2-Classic.
(string) --
list
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.
(string) --
list
The Amazon Resource Names (ARN) of the target groups to associate with the Auto Scaling group. Instances are registered as targets in a target group, and traffic is routed to the target group. For more information, see Elastic Load Balancing and Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
(string) --
string
The service to use for the health checks. The valid values are EC2 (default) and ELB . If you configure an Auto Scaling group to use load balancer (ELB) health checks, it considers the instance unhealthy if it fails either the EC2 status checks or the load balancer health checks. For more information, see Health checks for Auto Scaling instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
integer
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 Elastic Load Balancing or custom health check. This is useful if your instances do not immediately pass these health checks after they enter the InService state. For more information, see Health check grace period in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
Default: 0 seconds
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 .
Note
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.
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 for this parameter must reside in those Availability Zones.
Conditional: If your account supports EC2-Classic and VPC, this parameter is required to launch instances into a VPC.
list
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 Controlling which Auto Scaling instances terminate during scale in in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
(string) --
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 Using instance scale-in protection in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
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 Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Capacity Rebalancing in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
list
One or more lifecycle hooks for the group, which specify actions to perform when Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches or terminates instances.
(dict) --
Describes information used to specify a lifecycle hook for an Auto Scaling group.
For more information, see Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling lifecycle hooks in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
LifecycleHookName (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name of the lifecycle hook.
LifecycleTransition (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The state of the EC2 instance to which you want to attach the lifecycle hook. The valid values are:
autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_LAUNCHING
autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_TERMINATING
NotificationMetadata (string) --
Additional information that you want to include any time Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends a message to the notification target.
HeartbeatTimeout (integer) --
The maximum time, in seconds, that can elapse before the lifecycle hook times out.
If the lifecycle hook times out, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling performs the action that you specified in the DefaultResult parameter. You can prevent the lifecycle hook from timing out by calling RecordLifecycleActionHeartbeat .
DefaultResult (string) --
Defines the action the Auto Scaling group should take when the lifecycle hook timeout elapses or if an unexpected failure occurs. The valid values are CONTINUE and ABANDON . The default value is ABANDON .
NotificationTargetARN (string) --
The ARN of the target that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends notifications to when an instance is in the transition state for the lifecycle hook. The notification target can be either an SQS queue or an SNS topic.
RoleARN (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.
list
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 Tagging Auto Scaling groups and instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
(dict) --
Describes a tag for an Auto Scaling group.
ResourceId (string) --
The name of the Auto Scaling group.
ResourceType (string) --
The type of resource. The only supported value is auto-scaling-group .
Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The tag key.
Value (string) --
The tag value.
PropagateAtLaunch (boolean) --
Determines whether the tag is added to new instances as they are launched in the group.
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. 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 .
integer
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 Replacing Auto Scaling instances based on maximum instance lifetime in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
string
Reserved.
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 Creating an Auto Scaling 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
integer
The amount of time, in seconds, until a newly launched instance can contribute to the Amazon CloudWatch metrics. This delay lets an instance finish initializing before Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling aggregates instance metrics, resulting in more reliable usage data. Set this value equal to the amount of time that it takes for resource consumption to become stable after an instance reaches the InService state. For more information, see Set the default instance warmup for an Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
Warning
To manage your warm-up settings at the group level, we recommend that you set the default instance warmup, even if its value is set to 0 seconds . This also optimizes the performance of scaling policies that scale continuously, such as target tracking and step scaling policies.
If you need 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 minimum value of 0 .
Default: None
None
{'AutoScalingGroups': {'DefaultInstanceWarmup': 'integer'}}
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.

(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 automatically logically joined with an AND , and the request returns only the 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 which API operation you're using with the filter ( DescribeAutoScalingGroups or DescribeTags ).
DescribeAutoScalingGroups
Valid values for Name include the following:
tag-key - Accepts tag keys. The results only include information about the Auto Scaling groups associated with these tag keys.
tag-value - Accepts tag values. The results 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 only include information about the Auto Scaling groups associated with the specified key/value combination.
DescribeTags
Valid values for Name include the following:

Default: 100
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.
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.
Default: lowest-price

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 parameter that you want to change. Any parameters 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 parameters 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.

OnDemandAllocationStrategy (string) --
The order of the launch template overrides to use in fulfilling On-Demand capacity.
If you specify lowest-price , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses price to determine the order, launching the lowest price first.
If you specify prioritized , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses the priority that you assigned to each launch template override, launching the highest priority first. If all your On-Demand capacity cannot be fulfilled using your highest priority instance, then Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches the remaining capacity using the second priority instance type, and so on.
Default: lowest-price for Auto Scaling groups that specify InstanceRequirements in the overrides and prioritized for Auto Scaling groups that don't.
OnDemandBaseCapacity (integer) --
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.
If you specify weights for the instance types in the overrides, the base capacity is measured in the same unit of measurement as the instance types. If you specify InstanceRequirements in the overrides, the base capacity is measured in the same unit of measurement as your group's desired capacity.
Default: 0
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). If set to 100, only On-Demand Instances are used.
Default: 100
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.
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.
Default: lowest-price
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 1–20.
Default: 2
SpotMaxPrice (string) --
The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. If you keep the value at its default (unspecified), 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.
integer
The minimum size of the Auto Scaling group.
integer
The maximum size of the Auto Scaling group.
Note
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).
integer
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.
integer
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 .
list
One or more Availability Zones for the group.
(string) --
string
The service to use for the health checks. The valid values are EC2 and ELB . If you configure an Auto Scaling group to use ELB health checks, it considers the instance unhealthy if it fails either the EC2 status checks or the load balancer health checks.
integer
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 Elastic Load Balancing or custom health check. This is useful if your instances do not immediately pass these health checks after they enter the InService state. For more information, see Health check grace period in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
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 .
Note
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.
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 for this parameter must reside in those Availability Zones.
list
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 Controlling which Auto Scaling instances terminate during scale in in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
(string) --
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 Using instance scale-in protection in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
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 .
integer
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 .
boolean
Enables or disables Capacity Rebalancing. For more information, see Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Capacity Rebalancing in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
string
Reserved.
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 Creating an Auto Scaling 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
integer
The amount of time, in seconds, until a newly launched instance can contribute to the Amazon CloudWatch metrics. This delay lets an instance finish initializing before Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling aggregates instance metrics, resulting in more reliable usage data. Set this value equal to the amount of time that it takes for resource consumption to become stable after an instance reaches the InService state. For more information, see Set the default instance warmup for an Auto Scaling group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
Warning
To manage your warm-up settings at the group level, we recommend that you set the default instance warmup, even if its value is set to 0 seconds . This also optimizes the performance of scaling policies that scale continuously, such as target tracking and step scaling policies.
If you need 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 minimum value of 0 .
None
