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
.
The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a previous scaling activity to take effect. If not specified, the default value is 300. For more information, see Cooldown period in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide.
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
.
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.
A set of adjustments that enable you to scale based on the size of the alarm breach.
