aws_autoscaling_policy

Provides an AutoScaling Scaling Policy resource.

~> NOTE: You may want to omit desired_capacity attribute from attached aws_autoscaling_group when using autoscaling policies. It's good practice to pick either manual or dynamic (policy-based) scaling.

Example Usage

resource "aws_autoscaling_policy" "bat" {
  name = "foobar3-terraform-test"
  scaling_adjustment = 4
  adjustment_type = "ChangeInCapacity"
  cooldown = 300
  autoscaling_group_name = "${aws_autoscaling_group.bar.name}"
}

resource "aws_autoscaling_group" "bar" {
  availability_zones = ["us-east-1a"]
  name = "foobar3-terraform-test"
  max_size = 5
  min_size = 2
  health_check_grace_period = 300
  health_check_type = "ELB"
  force_delete = true
  launch_configuration = "${aws_launch_configuration.foo.name}"
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

• name - (Required) The name of the policy.
• autoscaling_group_name - (Required) The name or ARN of the group.
• adjustment_type - (Required) Specifies whether the scaling_adjustment is an absolute number or a percentage of the current capacity. Valid values are ChangeInCapacity, ExactCapacity, and PercentChangeInCapacity.
• scaling_adjustment - (Required) The number of instances by which to scale. adjustment_type determines the interpretation of this number (e.g., as an absolute number or as a percentage of the existing Auto Scaling group size). A positive increment adds to the current capacity and a negative value removes from the current capacity.
• cooldown - (Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, after a scaling activity completes and before the next scaling activity can start.
• min_adjustment_step - (Optional) Used with adjustment_type with the value PercentChangeInCapacity, the scaling policy changes the desired_capacity of the Auto Scaling group by at least the number of instances specified in the value.

Attribute Reference

• arn - The ARN assigned by AWS to the scaling policy.
