put_scheduled_update_group_action¶

put_scheduled_update_group_action(**kwargs)¶

Creates or updates a scheduled scaling action for an Auto Scaling group.

For more information, see Scheduled scaling in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .

You can view the scheduled actions for an Auto Scaling group using the DescribeScheduledActions API call. If you are no longer using a scheduled action, you can delete it by calling the DeleteScheduledAction API.

If you try to schedule your action in the past, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling returns an error message.

Request Syntax

response = client.put_scheduled_update_group_action(
    AutoScalingGroupName='string',
    ScheduledActionName='string',
    Time=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    StartTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    EndTime=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    Recurrence='string',
    MinSize=123,
    MaxSize=123,
    DesiredCapacity=123,
    TimeZone='string'
)

Parameters

AutoScalingGroupName (string) --
[REQUIRED]

The name of the Auto Scaling group.
ScheduledActionName (string) --
[REQUIRED]

The name of this scaling action.
Time (datetime) -- This property is no longer used.
StartTime (datetime) --
The date and time for this action to start, in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ format in UTC/GMT only and in quotes (for example, "2021-06-01T00:00:00Z" ).

If you specify Recurrence and StartTime , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling performs the action at this time, and then performs the action based on the specified recurrence.
EndTime (datetime) -- The date and time for the recurring schedule to end, in UTC. For example, "2021-06-01T00:00:00Z" .
Recurrence (string) --
The recurring schedule for this action. This format consists of five fields separated by white spaces: [Minute] [Hour] [Day_of_Month] [Month_of_Year] [Day_of_Week]. The value must be in quotes (for example, "30 0 1 1,6,12 *" ). For more information about this format, see Crontab.

When StartTime and EndTime are specified with Recurrence , they form the boundaries of when the recurring action starts and stops.

Cron expressions use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) by default.
MinSize (integer) -- The minimum size of the Auto Scaling group.
MaxSize (integer) -- The maximum size of the Auto Scaling group.
DesiredCapacity (integer) --
The desired capacity is the initial capacity of the Auto Scaling group after the scheduled action runs and the capacity it attempts to maintain. It can scale beyond this capacity if you add more scaling conditions.

Note

You must specify at least one of the following properties: MaxSize , MinSize , or DesiredCapacity .
TimeZone (string) --
Specifies the time zone for a 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, derived from the IANA Time Zone Database (such as Etc/GMT+9 or Pacific/Tahiti ). For more information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.

Returns

None

Exceptions

AutoScaling.Client.exceptions.AlreadyExistsFault
AutoScaling.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededFault
AutoScaling.Client.exceptions.ResourceContentionFault

Examples

This example adds the specified scheduled action to the specified Auto Scaling group.

response = client.put_scheduled_update_group_action(
    AutoScalingGroupName='my-auto-scaling-group',
    DesiredCapacity=4,
    EndTime=datetime(2014, 5, 12, 8, 0, 0, 0, 132, 0),
    MaxSize=6,
    MinSize=2,
    ScheduledActionName='my-scheduled-action',
    StartTime=datetime(2014, 5, 12, 8, 0, 0, 0, 132, 0),
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
