DESCRIPTION

Creates a new Auto Scaling group with a specified name and other attributes.

ARGUMENTS

AutoScalingGroupName
User-supplied Auto Scaling group identifier which will uniquely identify
the Auto Scaling group. You can also set this value using
" --auto-scaling-group". Required.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS

--default-cooldown VALUE
Time (in seconds) between a successful scaling activity and succeeding
scaling activity.

--desired-capacity VALUE
Capacity setting for the group (minimum-size <= desired-capacity <=
maximum-size).

--grace-period VALUE
The period after an instance is launched. During this period, any health
check failure of that instance is ignored.

--health-check-type VALUE
Type of health check for instances of this group.

-l, --launch-configuration VALUE
Name of existing launch configuration to use to launch new instances.
Required.

--load-balancers VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
List of existing load balancers. Load balancers must exist in Elastic
Load Balancing service within the scope of the caller's AWS account.

-m, --min-size VALUE
Minimum group size (0 <= minimum-size <= maximum-size). Required.

-M, --max-size VALUE
Maximum group size (minimum-size <= maximum-size < 10000). Required.

--placement-group VALUE
Name of an existing placement group into which you want to launch your
instances.

--tag "k=value, [id=value], [t=value], [v=value], [p=value]" [ --tag "k=value, [id=value], [t=value], [v=value], [p=value]" ...]
The tags to be created. Each tag should follow this format:
"id=resource-name, t=resource-type, k=tag-key, v=tag-val,
p=propagate-at-launch flag". NOTE: id is ResourceId, t is ResourceType, k
is TagKey, v is TagValue, p is PropagateAtLaunch.

--vpc-zone-identifier VALUE
The Amazon VPC into which you want to launch your instance.

-z, --availability-zones VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
Availability zones in which new instances will be launched. At least one
zone must be specified. Required.

GENERAL OPTIONS

Location of the file with your AWS credentials. This value can be set by
using the environment variable 'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.

-C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE

using the environment variable 'EC2_CERT'.

--connection-timeout VALUE
Connection timeout (in seconds). The default value is '30'.

--delimiter VALUE

-H, --headers
For displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the column
headers. For displaying XML results, it returns the HTTP headers from the
service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.

-U, --url VALUE
This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
value can be set by using the environment variable
'AWS_AUTO_SCALING_URL'.

INPUT EXAMPLES

Create group 'test-group-1' with required parameters (will have 1 instance
launched with config 'test-config-1')
