Auto Scaling examples using SDK for Java 2.x - AWS SDK for Java 2.x

Auto Scaling examples using SDK for Java 2.x

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS SDK for Java 2.x with Auto Scaling.

Basics are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Scenarios are code examples that show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within a service or combined with other AWS services.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

Get started

The following code examples show how to get started using Auto Scaling.

Basics

The following code example shows how to:

  • Create an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group with a launch template and Availability Zones, and get information about running instances.

  • Enable Amazon CloudWatch metrics collection.

  • Update the group's desired capacity and wait for an instance to start.

  • Terminate an instance in the group.

  • List scaling activities that occur in response to user requests and capacity changes.

  • Get statistics for CloudWatch metrics, then clean up resources.

Scenarios

The following code example shows how to create a load-balanced web service that returns book, movie, and song recommendations. The example shows how the service responds to failures, and how to restructure the service for more resilience when failures occur.

  • Use an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group to create Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances based on a launch template and to keep the number of instances in a specified range.

  • Handle and distribute HTTP requests with Elastic Load Balancing.

  • Monitor the health of instances in an Auto Scaling group and forward requests only to healthy instances.

  • Run a Python web server on each EC2 instance to handle HTTP requests. The web server responds with recommendations and health checks.

  • Simulate a recommendation service with an Amazon DynamoDB table.

  • Control web server response to requests and health checks by updating AWS Systems Manager parameters.
