Use PutScheduledAction with a CLI

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

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

Example 1: This cmdlet 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.

Set-AASScheduledAction -ServiceNamespace AppStream -ResourceId fleet/MyFleet -Schedule "cron(0 0 8 ? * MON-FRI *)" -ScalableDimension appstream:fleet:DesiredCapacity -ScheduledActionName WeekDaysFleetScaling -ScalableTargetAction_MinCapacity 5 -ScalableTargetAction_MaxCapacity 10
