A low-level client representing Auto Scaling:
import boto3
client = boto3.client('autoscaling')
These are the available methods:
Attaches one or more EC2 instances to the specified Auto Scaling group.
When you attach instances, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling increases the desired capacity of the group by the number of instances being attached. If the number of instances being attached plus the desired capacity of the group exceeds the maximum size of the group, the operation fails.
If there is a Classic Load Balancer attached to your Auto Scaling group, the instances are also registered with the load balancer. If there are target groups attached to your Auto Scaling group, the instances are also registered with the target groups.
For more information, see Attach EC2 Instances to Your Auto Scaling Group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .

[REQUIRED]
The name of the Auto Scaling group. This name must be unique within the scope of your AWS account.
The name of the launch configuration. This parameter, a launch template, a mixed instances policy, or an EC2 instance must be specified.
For more information, see Creating an Auto Scaling Group Using a Launch Configuration in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
The launch template to use to launch instances. This parameter, a launch configuration, a mixed instances policy, or an EC2 instance must be specified.
For more information, see Creating an Auto Scaling Group Using a Launch Template in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
The ID of the launch template. You must specify either a template ID or a template name.
The name of the launch template. You must specify either a template name or a template ID.
The version number, $Latest , or $Default . If the value is $Latest , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the latest version of the launch template when launching instances. If the value is $Default , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the default version of the launch template when launching instances. The default value is $Default .
The mixed instances policy to use to launch instances. This parameter, a launch template, a launch configuration, or an EC2 instance must be specified.
For more information, see Using Multiple Instance Types and Purchase Options in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
The launch template and overrides.
This parameter is required when creating an Auto Scaling group with a mixed instances policy, but is not required when updating the group.
The launch template to use. You must specify either the launch template ID or launch template name in the request.
The ID of the launch template. You must specify either a template ID or a template name.
The name of the launch template. You must specify either a template name or a template ID.
The version number, $Latest , or $Default . If the value is $Latest , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the latest version of the launch template when launching instances. If the value is $Default , Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling selects the default version of the launch template when launching instances. The default value is $Default .
Any parameters that you specify override the same parameters in the launch template. Currently, the only supported override is instance type.
You must specify between 2 and 20 overrides.
Describes an override for a launch template.
The instance type.
For information about available instance types, see Available Instance Types in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
The instances distribution to use.
If you leave this parameter unspecified when creating the group, the default values are used.
Indicates how to allocate instance types to fulfill On-Demand capacity.
The only valid value is prioritized , which is also the default value. This strategy uses the order of instance type overrides for the LaunchTemplate to define the launch priority of each instance type. The first instance type in the array is prioritized higher than the last. If all your On-Demand capacity cannot be fulfilled using your highest priority instance, then the Auto Scaling groups launches the remaining capacity using the second priority instance type, and so on.
The minimum amount of the Auto Scaling group's capacity that must be fulfilled by On-Demand Instances. This base portion is provisioned first as your group scales.
The default value is 0 . If you leave this parameter set to 0 , On-Demand Instances are launched as a percentage of the Auto Scaling group's desired capacity, per the OnDemandPercentageAboveBaseCapacity setting.
Controls the percentages of On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances for your additional capacity beyond OnDemandBaseCapacity .
The range is 0–100. The default value is 100 . If you leave this parameter set to 100 , the percentages are 100% for On-Demand Instances and 0% for Spot Instances.
Indicates how to allocate Spot capacity across Spot pools.
The only valid value is lowest-price , which is also the default value. The Auto Scaling group selects the cheapest Spot pools and evenly allocates your Spot capacity across the number of Spot pools that you specify.
The number of Spot pools to use to allocate your Spot capacity. The Spot pools are determined from the different instance types in the Overrides array of LaunchTemplate .
The range is 1–20 and the default is 2.
The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. If you leave the value of this parameter blank (which is the default), the maximum Spot price is set at the On-Demand price.
To remove a value that you previously set, include the parameter but leave the value blank.
The ID of the instance used to create a launch configuration for the group. This parameter, a launch configuration, a launch template, or a mixed instances policy must be specified.
When you specify an ID of an instance, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling creates a new launch configuration and associates it with the group. This launch configuration derives its attributes from the specified instance, except for the block device mapping.
For more information, see Create an Auto Scaling Group Using an EC2 Instance in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
[REQUIRED]
The minimum size of the group.
[REQUIRED]
The maximum size of the group.
The amount of time, in seconds, after a scaling activity completes before another scaling activity can start. The default value is 300 .
For more information, see Scaling Cooldowns in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
One or more Availability Zones for the group. This parameter is optional if you specify one or more subnets for VPCZoneIdentifier .
Conditional: If your account supports EC2-Classic and VPC, this parameter is required to launch instances into EC2-Classic.
One or more Classic Load Balancers. To specify an Application Load Balancer or a Network Load Balancer, use TargetGroupARNs instead.
For more information, see Using a Load Balancer With an Auto Scaling Group in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
The Amazon Resource Names (ARN) of the target groups.
The service to use for the health checks. The valid values are EC2 and ELB . The default value is EC2 .
For more information, see Health Checks for Auto Scaling Instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
The amount of time, in seconds, that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling waits before checking the health status of an EC2 instance that has come into service. During this time, any health check failures for the instance are ignored. The default value is 0 .
For more information, see Health Checks for Auto Scaling Instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
Conditional: This parameter is required if you are adding an ELB health check.
A comma-separated list of subnet IDs for your virtual private cloud (VPC).
If you specify VPCZoneIdentifier with AvailabilityZones , the subnets that you specify for this parameter must reside in those Availability Zones.
Conditional: If your account supports EC2-Classic and VPC, this parameter is required to launch instances into a VPC.
One or more termination policies used to select the instance to terminate. These policies are executed in the order that they are listed.
For more information, see Controlling Which Instances Auto Scaling Terminates During Scale In in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
Indicates whether newly launched instances are protected from termination by Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling when scaling in.
For more information about preventing instances from terminating on scale in, see Instance Protection in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
One or more lifecycle hooks.
Describes a lifecycle hook. Used in combination with CreateAutoScalingGroup .
A lifecycle hook tells Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to perform an action on an instance when the instance launches (before it is put into service) or as the instance terminates (before it is fully terminated).
This step is a part of the procedure for creating a lifecycle hook for an Auto Scaling group:
For more information, see Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Lifecycle Hooks in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
You can view the lifecycle hooks for an Auto Scaling group using DescribeLifecycleHooks . You can modify an existing lifecycle hook or create new lifecycle hooks using PutLifecycleHook . If you are no longer using a lifecycle hook, you can delete it using DeleteLifecycleHook .

The state of the EC2 instance to which you want to attach the lifecycle hook. The valid values are:
Additional information that you want to include any time Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends a message to the notification target.
The maximum time, in seconds, that can elapse before the lifecycle hook times out.
If the lifecycle hook times out, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling performs the action that you specified in the DefaultResult parameter. You can prevent the lifecycle hook from timing out by calling RecordLifecycleActionHeartbeat .
Defines the action the Auto Scaling group should take when the lifecycle hook timeout elapses or if an unexpected failure occurs. The valid values are CONTINUE and ABANDON . The default value is ABANDON .
The ARN of the target that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends notifications to when an instance is in the transition state for the lifecycle hook. The notification target can be either an SQS queue or an SNS topic.
The ARN of the IAM role that allows the Auto Scaling group to publish to the specified notification target, for example, an Amazon SNS topic or an Amazon SQS queue.
One or more tags.
For more information, see Tagging Auto Scaling Groups and Instances in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
Describes a tag for an Auto Scaling group.
The name of the group.
The type of resource. The only supported value is auto-scaling-group .

To remove instances from the Auto Scaling group before deleting it, call DetachInstances with the list of instances and the option to decrement the desired capacity. This ensures that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling does not launch replacement instances.
To terminate all instances before deleting the Auto Scaling group, call UpdateAutoScalingGroup and set the minimum size and desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group to zero.

For the following examples, suppose that you have an alarm with a breach threshold of 50:
There are a few rules for the step adjustments for your step policy:
MetricIntervalLowerBound (float) --
The lower bound for the difference between the alarm threshold and the CloudWatch metric. If the metric value is above the breach threshold, the lower bound is inclusive (the metric must be greater than or equal to the threshold plus the lower bound). Otherwise, it is exclusive (the metric must be greater than the threshold plus the lower bound). A null value indicates negative infinity.
MetricIntervalUpperBound (float) --
The upper bound for the difference between the alarm threshold and the CloudWatch metric. If the metric value is above the breach threshold, the upper bound is exclusive (the metric must be less than the threshold plus the upper bound). Otherwise, it is inclusive (the metric must be less than or equal to the threshold plus the upper bound). A null value indicates positive infinity.
The upper bound must be greater than the lower bound.

Creates or updates a lifecycle hook for the specified Auto Scaling group.
A lifecycle hook tells Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to perform an action on an instance when the instance launches (before it is put into service) or as the instance terminates (before it is fully terminated).
This step is a part of the procedure for adding a lifecycle hook to an Auto Scaling group:
For more information, see Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Lifecycle Hooks in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide .
If you exceed your maximum limit of lifecycle hooks, which by default is 50 per Auto Scaling group, the call fails.

Conditional: This parameter is required for new lifecycle hooks, but optional when updating existing hooks.
The ARN of the notification target that Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling uses to notify you when an instance is in the transition state for the lifecycle hook. This target can be either an SQS queue or an SNS topic.
If you specify an empty string, this overrides the current ARN.
This operation uses the JSON format when sending notifications to an Amazon SQS queue, and an email key-value pair format when sending notifications to an Amazon SNS topic.
When you specify a notification target, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends it a test message. Test messages contain the following additional key-value pair: "Event": "autoscaling:TEST_NOTIFICATION" .
The maximum time, in seconds, that can elapse before the lifecycle hook times out. The range is from 30 to 7200 seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
If the lifecycle hook times out, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling performs the action that you specified in the DefaultResult parameter. You can prevent the lifecycle hook from timing out by calling RecordLifecycleActionHeartbeat .

This parameter is supported if the policy type is StepScaling .
A set of adjustments that enable you to scale based on the size of the alarm breach.
Conditional: This parameter is required if the policy type is StepScaling and not supported otherwise.
Describes an adjustment based on the difference between the value of the aggregated CloudWatch metric and the breach threshold that you've defined for the alarm. Used in combination with PutScalingPolicy .
For the following examples, suppose that you have an alarm with a breach threshold of 50:
There are a few rules for the step adjustments for your step policy:
The lower bound for the difference between the alarm threshold and the CloudWatch metric. If the metric value is above the breach threshold, the lower bound is inclusive (the metric must be greater than or equal to the threshold plus the lower bound). Otherwise, it is exclusive (the metric must be greater than the threshold plus the lower bound). A null value indicates negative infinity.
The upper bound for the difference between the alarm threshold and the CloudWatch metric. If the metric value is above the breach threshold, the upper bound is exclusive (the metric must be less than the threshold plus the upper bound). Otherwise, it is inclusive (the metric must be less than or equal to the threshold plus the upper bound). A null value indicates positive infinity.
