Implements IConstruct, IDependable

Define a acaling strategy which scales depending on absolute values of some metric.

You can specify the scaling behavior for various values of the metric.

Implemented using one or more CloudWatch alarms and Step Scaling Policies.

Example

// The code below shows an example of how to instantiate this type.
// The values are placeholders you should change.
import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { aws_autoscaling as autoscaling } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { aws_cloudwatch as cloudwatch } from 'aws-cdk-lib';

declare const autoScalingGroup: autoscaling.AutoScalingGroup;
declare const metric: cloudwatch.Metric;
const stepScalingPolicy = new autoscaling.StepScalingPolicy(this, 'MyStepScalingPolicy', {
  autoScalingGroup: autoScalingGroup,
  metric: metric,
  scalingSteps: [{
    change: 123,

    // the properties below are optional
    lower: 123,
    upper: 123,
  }],

  // the properties below are optional
  adjustmentType: autoscaling.AdjustmentType.CHANGE_IN_CAPACITY,
  cooldown: cdk.Duration.minutes(30),
  estimatedInstanceWarmup: cdk.Duration.minutes(30),
  evaluationPeriods: 123,
  metricAggregationType: autoscaling.MetricAggregationType.AVERAGE,
  minAdjustmentMagnitude: 123,
});

Initializer

new StepScalingPolicy(scope: Construct, id: string, props: StepScalingPolicyProps)

Parameters

  • scope Construct
  • id string
  • props StepScalingPolicyProps

Construct Props

NameTypeDescription
autoScalingGroupIAutoScalingGroupThe auto scaling group.
metricIMetricMetric to scale on.
scalingStepsScalingInterval[]The intervals for scaling.
adjustmentType?AdjustmentTypeHow the adjustment numbers inside 'intervals' are interpreted.
cooldown?DurationGrace period after scaling activity.
estimatedInstanceWarmup?DurationEstimated time until a newly launched instance can send metrics to CloudWatch.
evaluationPeriods?numberHow many evaluation periods of the metric to wait before triggering a scaling action.
metricAggregationType?MetricAggregationTypeAggregation to apply to all data points over the evaluation periods.
minAdjustmentMagnitude?numberMinimum absolute number to adjust capacity with as result of percentage scaling.

autoScalingGroup

Type: IAutoScalingGroup

The auto scaling group.


metric

Type: IMetric

Metric to scale on.


scalingSteps

Type: ScalingInterval[]

The intervals for scaling.

Maps a range of metric values to a particular scaling behavior.


adjustmentType?

Type: AdjustmentType (optional, default: ChangeInCapacity)

How the adjustment numbers inside 'intervals' are interpreted.


cooldown?

Type: Duration (optional, default: Default cooldown period on your AutoScalingGroup)

Grace period after scaling activity.


estimatedInstanceWarmup?

Type: Duration (optional, default: Same as the cooldown)

Estimated time until a newly launched instance can send metrics to CloudWatch.


evaluationPeriods?

Type: number (optional, default: 1)

How many evaluation periods of the metric to wait before triggering a scaling action.

Raising this value can be used to smooth out the metric, at the expense of slower response times.


metricAggregationType?

Type: MetricAggregationType (optional, default: The statistic from the metric if applicable (MIN, MAX, AVERAGE), otherwise AVERAGE.)

Aggregation to apply to all data points over the evaluation periods.

Only has meaning if evaluationPeriods != 1.


minAdjustmentMagnitude?

Type: number (optional, default: No minimum scaling effect)

Minimum absolute number to adjust capacity with as result of percentage scaling.

Only when using AdjustmentType = PercentChangeInCapacity, this number controls the minimum absolute effect size.
