[ aws . autoscaling ]

set-instance-protection

Description

Updates the instance protection settings of the specified instances.

For more information about preventing instances that are part of an Auto Scaling group from terminating on scale in, see Instance scale-in protection in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .

If you exceed your maximum limit of instance IDs, which is 50 per Auto Scaling group, the call fails.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  set-instance-protection
--instance-ids <value>
--auto-scaling-group-name <value>
--protected-from-scale-in | --no-protected-from-scale-in
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--instance-ids (list)

One or more instance IDs. You can specify up to 50 instances.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--auto-scaling-group-name (string)

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

--protected-from-scale-in | --no-protected-from-scale-in (boolean)

Indicates whether the instance is protected from termination by Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling when scaling in.

--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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

This example disables instance protection for the specified instance:

aws autoscaling set-instance-protection --instance-ids i-93633f9b --auto-scaling-group-name my-auto-scaling-group --no-protected-from-scale-in

Output
