SimpleScalingPolicyConfiguration

The amount by which to scale in or scale out, based on the specified AdjustmentType. A positive value adds to the instance group's Amazon EC2 instance count while a negative number removes instances. If AdjustmentType is set to EXACT_CAPACITY, the number should only be a positive integer. If AdjustmentType is set to PERCENT_CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY, the value should express the percentage as an integer. For example, -20 indicates a decrease in 20% increments of cluster capacity.

Type: Integer

Required: Yes

The way in which Amazon EC2 instances are added (if ScalingAdjustment is a positive number) or terminated (if ScalingAdjustment is a negative number) each time the scaling activity is triggered. CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY is the default. CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY indicates that the Amazon EC2 instance count increments or decrements by ScalingAdjustment, which should be expressed as an integer. PERCENT_CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY indicates the instance count increments or decrements by the percentage specified by ScalingAdjustment, which should be expressed as an integer. For example, 20 indicates an increase in 20% increments of cluster capacity. EXACT_CAPACITY indicates the scaling activity results in an instance group with the number of Amazon EC2 instances specified by ScalingAdjustment, which should be expressed as a positive integer.

Type: String

Valid Values: CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY | PERCENT_CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY | EXACT_CAPACITY

Required: No

The amount of time, in seconds, after a scaling activity completes before any further trigger-related scaling activities can start. The default value is 0.
