get-auto-scaling-group-recommendations¶

Description¶

Returns Auto Scaling group recommendations.

AWS Compute Optimizer currently generates recommendations for Auto Scaling groups that are configured to run instances of the M, C, R, T, and X instance families. The service does not generate recommendations for Auto Scaling groups that have a scaling policy attached to them, or that do not have the same values for desired, minimum, and maximum capacity. In order for Compute Optimizer to analyze your Auto Scaling groups, they must be of a fixed size. For more information, see the AWS Compute Optimizer User Guide .

Options¶

--account-ids (list)

The IDs of the AWS accounts for which to return Auto Scaling group recommendations.

If your account is the master account of an organization, use this parameter to specify the member accounts for which you want to return Auto Scaling group recommendations.

Only one account ID can be specified per request.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--auto-scaling-group-arns (list)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Auto Scaling groups for which to return recommendations.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--next-token (string)

The token to advance to the next page of Auto Scaling group recommendations.

--max-results (integer)

The maximum number of Auto Scaling group recommendations to return with a single request.

To retrieve the remaining results, make another request with the returned NextToken value.

--filters (list)

An array of objects that describe a filter that returns a more specific list of Auto Scaling group recommendations.

(structure)

Describes a filter that returns a more specific list of recommendations.

name -> (string)

The name of the filter.

Specify Finding to return recommendations with a specific findings classification (e.g., Overprovisioned ).

Specify RecommendationSourceType to return recommendations of a specific resource type (e.g., AutoScalingGroup ).

values -> (list)

The value of the filter.

If you specify the name parameter as Finding , and you request recommendations for an instance , then the valid values are Underprovisioned , Overprovisioned , NotOptimized , or Optimized .

If you specify the name parameter as Finding , and you request recommendations for an Auto Scaling group , then the valid values are Optimized , or NotOptimized .

If you specify the name parameter as RecommendationSourceType , then the valid values are Ec2Instance , or AutoScalingGroup .

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

name=string,values=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "name": "Finding"|"RecommendationSourceType",
    "values": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output¶

nextToken -> (string)

The token to use to advance to the next page of Auto Scaling group recommendations.

This value is null when there are no more pages of Auto Scaling group recommendations to return.

autoScalingGroupRecommendations -> (list)

An array of objects that describe Auto Scaling group recommendations.

(structure)

Describes an Auto Scaling group recommendation.

accountId -> (string)

The AWS account ID of the Auto Scaling group.

autoScalingGroupArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Auto Scaling group.

autoScalingGroupName -> (string)

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

finding -> (string)

The finding classification for the Auto Scaling group.

Findings for Auto Scaling groups include:

**NotOptimized ** —An Auto Scaling group is considered not optimized when AWS Compute Optimizer identifies a recommendation that can provide better performance for your workload.

**Optimized ** —An Auto Scaling group is considered optimized when Compute Optimizer determines that the group is correctly provisioned to run your workload based on the chosen instance type. For optimized resources, Compute Optimizer might recommend a new generation instance type.

Note

The values that are returned might be NOT_OPTIMIZED or OPTIMIZED .

utilizationMetrics -> (list)

An array of objects that describe the utilization metrics of the Auto Scaling group.

(structure)

Describes a utilization metric of a resource, such as an Amazon EC2 instance.

name -> (string)

The name of the utilization metric.

Note

Memory metrics are only returned for resources that have the unified CloudWatch agent installed on them. For more information, see Enabling Memory Utilization with the CloudWatch Agent .

statistic -> (string)

The statistic of the utilization metric.

value -> (double)

The value of the utilization metric.

lookBackPeriodInDays -> (double)

The number of days for which utilization metrics were analyzed for the Auto Scaling group.

currentConfiguration -> (structure)

An array of objects that describe the current configuration of the Auto Scaling group.

desiredCapacity -> (integer)

The desired capacity, or number of instances, for the Auto Scaling group.

minSize -> (integer)

The minimum size, or minimum number of instances, for the Auto Scaling group.

maxSize -> (integer)

The maximum size, or maximum number of instances, for the Auto Scaling group.

instanceType -> (string)

The instance type for the Auto Scaling group.

recommendationOptions -> (list)

An array of objects that describe the recommendation options for the Auto Scaling group.

(structure)

Describes a recommendation option for an Auto Scaling group.

configuration -> (structure)

An array of objects that describe an Auto Scaling group configuration.

desiredCapacity -> (integer)

The desired capacity, or number of instances, for the Auto Scaling group.

minSize -> (integer)

The minimum size, or minimum number of instances, for the Auto Scaling group.

maxSize -> (integer)

The maximum size, or maximum number of instances, for the Auto Scaling group.

instanceType -> (string)

The instance type for the Auto Scaling group.

projectedUtilizationMetrics -> (list)

An array of objects that describe the projected utilization metrics of the Auto Scaling group recommendation option.

(structure)

Describes a utilization metric of a resource, such as an Amazon EC2 instance.

name -> (string)

The name of the utilization metric.

Note

Memory metrics are only returned for resources that have the unified CloudWatch agent installed on them. For more information, see Enabling Memory Utilization with the CloudWatch Agent .

statistic -> (string)

The statistic of the utilization metric.

value -> (double)

The value of the utilization metric.

performanceRisk -> (double)

The performance risk of the Auto Scaling group configuration recommendation.

Performance risk is the likelihood of the recommended instance type not meeting the performance requirement of your workload.
