put-scaling-policy¶

Description¶

Creates or updates a scaling policy for an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

Each scalable target is identified by a service namespace, resource ID, and scalable dimension. A scaling policy applies to the scalable target identified by those three attributes. You cannot create a scaling policy until you have registered the resource as a scalable target.

Multiple scaling policies can be in force at the same time for the same scalable target. You can have one or more target tracking scaling policies, one or more step scaling policies, or both. However, there is a chance that multiple policies could conflict, instructing the scalable target to scale out or in at the same time. Application Auto Scaling gives precedence to the policy that provides the largest capacity for both scale out and scale in. For example, if one policy increases capacity by 3, another policy increases capacity by 200 percent, and the current capacity is 10, Application Auto Scaling uses the policy with the highest calculated capacity (200% of 10 = 20) and scales out to 30.

We recommend caution, however, when using target tracking scaling policies with step scaling policies because conflicts between these policies can cause undesirable behavior. For example, if the step scaling policy initiates a scale-in activity before the target tracking policy is ready to scale in, the scale-in activity will not be blocked. After the scale-in activity completes, the target tracking policy could instruct the scalable target to scale out again.

For more information, see Target tracking scaling policies and Step scaling policies in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide .

Note

If a scalable target is deregistered, the scalable target is no longer available to execute scaling policies. Any scaling policies that were specified for the scalable target are deleted.

The following policy types are supported:

TargetTrackingScaling —Not supported for Amazon EMR

StepScaling —Not supported for DynamoDB, Amazon Comprehend, Lambda, Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra), or Amazon MSK.

For more information, see Target tracking scaling policies and Step scaling policies in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide .

Possible values:

StepScaling

TargetTrackingScaling

--step-scaling-policy-configuration (structure)

A step scaling policy.

This parameter is required if you are creating a policy and the policy type is StepScaling .

AdjustmentType -> (string)

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

AdjustmentType is required if you are adding a new step scaling policy configuration.

StepAdjustments -> (list)

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

At least one step adjustment is required if you are adding a new step scaling policy configuration.

(structure)

Represents a step adjustment for a StepScalingPolicyConfiguration . Describes an adjustment based on the difference between the value of the aggregated CloudWatch metric and the breach threshold that you’ve defined for the alarm.

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.

MetricIntervalLowerBound -> (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 -> (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). Otherwise, it is inclusive (the metric must be less than or equal to the threshold plus the upper bound). A null value indicates positive infinity.

The upper bound must be greater than the lower bound.

ScalingAdjustment -> (integer)

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 positive value.

MinAdjustmentMagnitude -> (integer)

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 Amazon ECS service by 25 percent and you specify a MinAdjustmentMagnitude of 2. If the service has 4 tasks and the scaling policy is performed, 25 percent of 4 is 1. However, because you specified a MinAdjustmentMagnitude of 2, Application Auto Scaling scales out the service by 2 tasks.

Cooldown -> (integer)

The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a previous scaling activity to take effect.

With scale-out policies, the intention is to continuously (but not excessively) scale out. After Application Auto Scaling successfully scales out using a step scaling policy, it starts to calculate the cooldown time. The scaling policy won’t increase the desired capacity again unless either a larger scale out is triggered or the cooldown period ends. While the cooldown period is in effect, capacity added by the initiating scale-out activity is calculated as part of the desired capacity for the next scale-out activity. For example, when an alarm triggers a step scaling policy to increase the capacity by 2, the scaling activity completes successfully, and a cooldown period starts. If the alarm triggers again during the cooldown period but at a more aggressive step adjustment of 3, the previous increase of 2 is considered part of the current capacity. Therefore, only 1 is added to the capacity.

With scale-in policies, the intention is to scale in conservatively to protect your application’s availability, so scale-in activities are blocked until the cooldown period has expired. However, if another alarm triggers a scale-out activity during the cooldown period after a scale-in activity, Application Auto Scaling scales out the target immediately. In this case, the cooldown period for the scale-in activity stops and doesn’t complete.

Application Auto Scaling provides a default value of 300 for the following scalable targets:

ECS services

Spot Fleet requests

EMR clusters

AppStream 2.0 fleets

Aurora DB clusters

Amazon SageMaker endpoint variants

Custom resources

For all other scalable targets, the default value is 0:

DynamoDB tables

DynamoDB global secondary indexes

Amazon Comprehend document classification and entity recognizer endpoints

Lambda provisioned concurrency

Amazon Keyspaces tables

Amazon MSK broker storage

MetricAggregationType -> (string)

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

Shorthand Syntax:

AdjustmentType=string,StepAdjustments=[{MetricIntervalLowerBound=double,MetricIntervalUpperBound=double,ScalingAdjustment=integer},{MetricIntervalLowerBound=double,MetricIntervalUpperBound=double,ScalingAdjustment=integer}],MinAdjustmentMagnitude=integer,Cooldown=integer,MetricAggregationType=string

  "Cooldown": integer,
  "MetricAggregationType": "Average"|"Minimum"|"Maximum"
}

--target-tracking-scaling-policy-configuration (structure)

A target tracking scaling policy. Includes support for predefined or customized metrics.

This parameter is required if you are creating a policy and the policy type is TargetTrackingScaling .

TargetValue -> (double)

The target value for the metric. Although this property accepts numbers of type Double, it won’t accept values that are either too small or too large. Values must be in the range of -2^360 to 2^360. The value must be a valid number based on the choice of metric. For example, if the metric is CPU utilization, then the target value is a percent value that represents how much of the CPU can be used before scaling out.

PredefinedMetricSpecification -> (structure)

A predefined metric. You can specify either a predefined metric or a customized metric.

PredefinedMetricType -> (string)

The metric type. The ALBRequestCountPerTarget metric type applies only to Spot Fleet requests and ECS services.

ResourceLabel -> (string)

Identifies the resource associated with the metric type. You can’t specify a resource label unless the metric type is ALBRequestCountPerTarget and there is a target group attached to the Spot Fleet request or ECS service.

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 is app/<load-balancer-name>/<load-balancer-id>/targetgroup/<target-group-name>/<target-group-id>, 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.

This is an example: app/EC2Co-EcsEl-1TKLTMITMM0EO/f37c06a68c1748aa/targetgroup/EC2Co-Defau-LDNM7Q3ZH1ZN/6d4ea56ca2d6a18d.

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.

CustomizedMetricSpecification -> (structure)

A customized metric. You can specify either a predefined metric or a customized metric.

MetricName -> (string)

The name of the metric.

Namespace -> (string)

The namespace of the metric.

Dimensions -> (list)

The dimensions of the metric.

Conditional: If you published your metric with dimensions, you must specify the same dimensions in your scaling policy.

(structure)

Describes the dimension names and values associated with a metric.

Name -> (string)

The name of the dimension.

Value -> (string)

The value of the dimension.

Statistic -> (string)

The statistic of the metric.

Unit -> (string)

The unit of the metric.

ScaleOutCooldown -> (integer)

The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a previous scale-out activity to take effect.

With the scale-out cooldown period , the intention is to continuously (but not excessively) scale out. After Application Auto Scaling successfully scales out using a target tracking scaling policy, it starts to calculate the cooldown time. The scaling policy won’t increase the desired capacity again unless either a larger scale out is triggered or the cooldown period ends. While the cooldown period is in effect, the capacity added by the initiating scale-out activity is calculated as part of the desired capacity for the next scale-out activity.

Application Auto Scaling provides a default value of 300 for the following scalable targets:

ECS services

Custom resources

For all other scalable targets, the default value is 0:

DynamoDB tables

DynamoDB global secondary indexes

Amazon Comprehend document classification and entity recognizer endpoints

Lambda provisioned concurrency

Amazon Keyspaces tables

Amazon MSK broker storage

ScaleInCooldown -> (integer)

The amount of time, in seconds, after a scale-in activity completes before another scale-in activity can start.

With the scale-in cooldown period , the intention is to scale in conservatively to protect your application’s availability, so scale-in activities are blocked until the cooldown period has expired. However, if another alarm triggers a scale-out activity during the scale-in cooldown period, Application Auto Scaling scales out the target immediately. In this case, the scale-in cooldown period stops and doesn’t complete.

DisableScaleIn -> (boolean)

Indicates whether scale in by the target tracking scaling policy is disabled. If the value is true , scale in is disabled and the target tracking scaling policy won’t remove capacity from the scalable target. Otherwise, scale in is enabled and the target tracking scaling policy can remove capacity from the scalable target. The default value is false .

--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.
