AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . application-autoscaling ]

put-scheduled-action

Description

Creates or updates a scheduled action for an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

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

When start and end times are specified with a recurring schedule using a cron expression or rates, they form the boundaries for when the recurring action starts and stops.

To update a scheduled action, specify the parameters that you want to change. If you don’t specify start and end times, the old values are deleted.

For more information, see Scheduled scaling in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide .

Note

If a scalable target is deregistered, the scalable target is no longer available to run scheduled actions. Any scheduled actions that were specified for the scalable target are deleted.

Options

--service-namespace (string)

The namespace of the Amazon Web Services service that provides the resource. For a resource provided by your own application or service, use custom-resource instead.

Possible values:

  • ecs

  • elasticmapreduce

  • ec2

  • appstream

  • dynamodb

  • rds

  • sagemaker

  • custom-resource

  • comprehend

  • lambda

  • cassandra

  • kafka

  • elasticache

  • neptune

--schedule (string)

The schedule for this action. The following formats are supported:

  • At expressions - “at(*yyyy* -*mm* -*dd* T*hh* :*mm* :*ss* ) “

  • Rate expressions - “rate(*value*  *unit* ) “

  • Cron expressions - “cron(*fields* ) “

At expressions are useful for one-time schedules. Cron expressions are useful for scheduled actions that run periodically at a specified date and time, and rate expressions are useful for scheduled actions that run at a regular interval.

At and cron expressions use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) by default.

The cron format consists of six fields separated by white spaces: [Minutes] [Hours] [Day_of_Month] [Month] [Day_of_Week] [Year].

For rate expressions, value is a positive integer and unit is minute | minutes | hour | hours | day | days .

For more information and examples, see Example scheduled actions for Application Auto Scaling in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide .

--timezone (string)

Specifies the time zone used when setting a scheduled action by using an at or cron expression. If a time zone is not provided, UTC is used by default.

Valid values are the canonical names of the IANA time zones supported by Joda-Time (such as Etc/GMT+9 or Pacific/Tahiti ). For more information, see https://www.joda.org/joda-time/timezones.html .

--start-time (timestamp)

The date and time for this scheduled action to start, in UTC.

--end-time (timestamp)

The date and time for the recurring schedule to end, in UTC.

--scalable-target-action (structure)

The new minimum and maximum capacity. You can set both values or just one. At the scheduled time, if the current capacity is below the minimum capacity, Application Auto Scaling scales out to the minimum capacity. If the current capacity is above the maximum capacity, Application Auto Scaling scales in to the maximum capacity.

MinCapacity -> (integer)

The minimum capacity.

For certain resources, the minimum value allowed is 0. This includes Lambda provisioned concurrency, Spot Fleet, ECS services, Aurora DB clusters, EMR clusters, and custom resources. For all other resources, the minimum value allowed is 1.

MaxCapacity -> (integer)

The maximum capacity.

Although you can specify a large maximum capacity, note that service quotas may impose lower limits. Each service has its own default quotas for the maximum capacity of the resource. If you want to specify a higher limit, you can request an increase. For more information, consult the documentation for that service. For information about the default quotas for each service, see Service Endpoints and Quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

Shorthand Syntax:

MinCapacity=integer,MaxCapacity=integer

JSON Syntax:

{
  "MinCapacity": integer,
  "MaxCapacity": integer
}

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To add a scheduled action to a DynamoDB table

This example adds a scheduled action to a DynamoDB table called TestTable to scale out on a recurring schedule. On the specified schedule (every day at 12:15pm UTC), if the current capacity is below the value specified for MinCapacity, Application Auto Scaling scales out to the value specified by MinCapacity.

Command:

aws application-autoscaling put-scheduled-action --service-namespace dynamodb --scheduled-action-name my-recurring-action --schedule "cron(15 12 * * ? *)" --resource-id table/TestTable --scalable-dimension dynamodb:table:WriteCapacityUnits --scalable-target-action MinCapacity=6
