put-scheduled-action

Description

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. A scheduled action applies to the scalable target identified by those three attributes. You cannot create a scheduled action until you have registered the resource as a scalable target.

When you specify start and end times with a recurring schedule using a cron expression or rates, they form the boundaries for when the recurring action starts and stops.

To update a scheduled action, specify the parameters that you want to change. If you don't specify start and end times, the old values are deleted.

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

Note

If a scalable target is deregistered, the scalable target is no longer available to run scheduled actions. Any scheduled actions that were specified for the scalable target are deleted.

Options

--service-namespace (string)

The namespace of the Amazon Web Services service that provides the resource. For a resource provided by your own application or service, use custom-resource instead.

Possible values:

  • ecs
  • elasticmapreduce
  • ec2
  • appstream
  • dynamodb
  • rds
  • sagemaker
  • custom-resource
  • comprehend
  • lambda
  • cassandra
  • kafka
  • elasticache
  • neptune
  • workspaces

--schedule (string)

The schedule for this action. The following formats are supported:

  • At expressions - "at(*yyyy* -*mm* -*dd* T*hh* :*mm* :*ss* ) "
  • Rate expressions - "rate(*value*  *unit* ) "
  • Cron expressions - "cron(*fields* ) "

At expressions are useful for one-time schedules. Cron expressions are useful for scheduled actions that run periodically at a specified date and time, and rate expressions are useful for scheduled actions that run at a regular interval.

At and cron expressions use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) by default.

The cron format consists of six fields separated by white spaces: [Minutes] [Hours] [Day_of_Month] [Month] [Day_of_Week] [Year].

For rate expressions, value is a positive integer and unit is minute | minutes | hour | hours | day | days .

For more information, see Schedule recurring scaling actions using cron expressions in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide .

--timezone (string)

Specifies the time zone used when setting a scheduled action by using an at or cron expression. If a time zone is not provided, UTC is used by default.

Valid values are the canonical names of the IANA time zones supported by Joda-Time (such as Etc/GMT+9 or Pacific/Tahiti ). For more information, see https://www.joda.org/joda-time/timezones.html .

--start-time (timestamp)

The date and time for this scheduled action to start, in UTC.

--end-time (timestamp)

The date and time for the recurring schedule to end, in UTC.

--scalable-target-action (structure)

The new minimum and maximum capacity. You can set both values or just one. At the scheduled time, if the current capacity is below the minimum capacity, Application Auto Scaling scales out to the minimum capacity. If the current capacity is above the maximum capacity, Application Auto Scaling scales in to the maximum capacity.

MinCapacity -> (integer)

The minimum capacity.

When the scheduled action runs, the resource will have at least this much capacity, but it might have more depending on other settings, such as the target utilization level of a target tracking scaling policy.

MaxCapacity -> (integer)

The maximum capacity.

Although you can specify a large maximum capacity, note that service quotas may impose lower limits. Each service has its own default quotas for the maximum capacity of the resource. If you want to specify a higher limit, you can request an increase. For more information, consult the documentation for that service. For information about the default quotas for each service, see Service endpoints and quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference .

Shorthand Syntax:

MinCapacity=integer,MaxCapacity=integer

JSON Syntax:

{
  "MinCapacity": integer,
  "MaxCapacity": integer
}

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

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.
