A low-level client representing Auto Scaling:
client = session.create_client('autoscaling')
These are the available methods:
Attaches one or more EC2 instances to the specified Auto Scaling group.
When you attach instances, Auto Scaling increases the desired capacity of the group by the number of instances being attached. If the number of instances being attached plus the desired capacity of the group exceeds the maximum size of the group, the operation fails.
If there is a Classic Load Balancer attached to your Auto Scaling group, the instances are also registered with the load balancer. If there are target groups attached to your Auto Scaling group, the instances are also registered with the target groups.
For more information, see Attach EC2 Instances to Your Auto Scaling Group in the Auto Scaling User Guide .

ScalingPolicies (list) --
The scaling policies.
(dict) --
Describes a scaling policy.
AutoScalingGroupName (string) --
The name of the Auto Scaling group.
PolicyName (string) --

PolicyARN (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the policy.
PolicyType (string) --
The policy type. Valid values are SimpleScaling and StepScaling .
AdjustmentType (string) --
The adjustment type, which specifies how ScalingAdjustment is interpreted. Valid values are ChangeInCapacity , ExactCapacity , and PercentChangeInCapacity .
MinAdjustmentStep (integer) --
Available for backward compatibility. Use MinAdjustmentMagnitude instead.
MinAdjustmentMagnitude (integer) --
The minimum number of instances to scale. If the value of AdjustmentType is PercentChangeInCapacity , the scaling policy changes the DesiredCapacity of the Auto Scaling group by at least this many instances. Otherwise, the error is ValidationError .
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.
Cooldown (integer) --
The amount of time, in seconds, after a scaling activity completes before any further dynamic scaling activities can start.
StepAdjustments (list) --
A set of adjustments that enable you to scale based on the size of the alarm breach.
(dict) --
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:
There are a few rules for the step adjustments for your step policy:
MetricIntervalLowerBound (float) --
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 (float) --
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.
MetricAggregationType (string) --

Creates or updates a lifecycle hook for the specified Auto Scaling Group.
A lifecycle hook tells Auto Scaling that you want to perform an action on an instance that is not actively in service; for example, either when the instance launches or before the instance terminates.
This step is a part of the procedure for adding a lifecycle hook to an Auto Scaling group:
For more information, see Auto Scaling Lifecycle Hooks in the Auto Scaling User Guide .
If you exceed your maximum limit of lifecycle hooks, which by default is 50 per Auto Scaling group, the call fails. For information about updating this limit, see AWS Service Limits in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

This parameter is required for new lifecycle hooks, but optional when updating existing hooks.
The ARN of the notification target that Auto Scaling will use to notify you when an instance is in the transition state for the lifecycle hook. This target can be either an SQS queue or an SNS topic. If you specify an empty string, this overrides the current ARN.
This operation uses the JSON format when sending notifications to an Amazon SQS queue, and an email key/value pair format when sending notifications to an Amazon SNS topic.
When you specify a notification target, Auto Scaling sends it a test message. Test messages contains the following additional key/value pair: "Event": "autoscaling:TEST_NOTIFICATION" .
The maximum time, in seconds, that can elapse before the lifecycle hook times out. The range is from 30 to 7200 seconds. The default is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
If the lifecycle hook times out, Auto Scaling performs the default action. You can prevent the lifecycle hook from timing out by calling RecordLifecycleActionHeartbeat .

The aggregation type for the CloudWatch metrics. The valid values are Minimum , Maximum , and Average . If the aggregation type is null, the value is treated as Average .
This parameter is supported if the policy type is StepScaling .
A set of adjustments that enable you to scale based on the size of the alarm breach.
This parameter is required if the policy type is StepScaling and not supported otherwise.
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:
There are a few rules for the step adjustments for your step policy:
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.
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.
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.
The estimated time, in seconds, until a newly launched instance can contribute to the CloudWatch metrics. The default is to use the value specified for the default cooldown period for the group.
This parameter is supported if the policy type is StepScaling or TargetTrackingScaling .
A target tracking policy.
This parameter is required if the policy type is TargetTrackingScaling and not supported otherwise.
A predefined metric. You can specify either a predefined metric or a customized metric.
The metric type.
Identifies the resource associated with the metric type. The following predefined metrics are available:
For predefined metric types ASGAverageCPUUtilization , ASGAverageNetworkIn , and ASGAverageNetworkOut , the parameter must not be specified as the resource associated with the metric type is the Auto Scaling group. For predefined metric type ALBRequestCountPerTarget , the parameter must be specified in the format: ``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, and ``targetgroup/target-group-name /target-group-id `` is the final portion of the target group ARN. The target group must be attached to the Auto Scaling group.
A customized metric.
The name of the metric.
The namespace of the metric.
The dimensions of the metric.
Describes the dimension of a metric.
The name of the dimension.
The value of the dimension.
The statistic of the metric.
The unit of the metric.
The target value for the metric.
Indicates whether scale in by the target tracking policy is disabled. If scale in is disabled, the target tracking policy won't remove instances from the Auto Scaling group. Otherwise, the target tracking policy can remove instances from the Auto Scaling group. The default is disabled.
