DESCRIPTION

Creates a new Auto Scaling group with a specified name and other attributes.

ARGUMENTS

AutoScalingGroupName
    User-supplied Auto Scaling group identifier which will uniquely identify
    the Auto Scaling group. You can also set this value using
    "--auto-scaling-group". Required.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS

--default-cooldown VALUE
Time (in seconds) between a successful scaling activity and succeeding
scaling activity.

--desired-capacity VALUE
Capacity setting for the group (minimum-size <= desired-capacity <=
maximum-size).

--grace-period VALUE
The period after an instance is launched. During this period, any health
check failure of that instance is ignored.

--health-check-type VALUE
Type of health check for instances of this group.

-l, --launch-configuration VALUE
Name of existing launch configuration to use to launch new instances.
Required.

--load-balancers VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
List of existing load balancers. Load balancers must exist in Elastic
Load Balancing service within the scope of the caller's AWS account.

-m, --min-size VALUE
Minimum group size (0 <= minimum-size <= maximum-size). Required.

-M, --max-size VALUE
Maximum group size (minimum-size <= maximum-size < 10000). Required.

--placement-group VALUE
Name of an existing placement group into which you want to launch your
instances.

--tag "k=value, [id=value], [t=value], [v=value], [p=value]" [ --tag "k=value, [id=value], [t=value], [v=value], [p=value]" ...]
    The tags to be created. Each tag should follow this format:
    "id=resource-name, t=resource-type, k=tag-key, v=tag-val,
    p=propagate-at-launch flag". NOTE: id is ResourceId, t is ResourceType, k
    is TagKey, v is TagValue, p is PropagateAtLaunch.

--vpc-zone-identifier VALUE
The Amazon VPC into which you want to launch your instance.

-z, --availability-zones VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
Availability zones in which new instances will be launched. At least one
zone must be specified. Required.

GENERAL OPTIONS

--aws-credential-file VALUE
Location of the file with your AWS credentials. This value can be set by
using the environment variable 'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.

-C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE
Path to the file holding the X.509 certificate. This value can be set by
using the environment variable 'EC2_CERT'.

--connection-timeout VALUE
Connection timeout (in seconds). The default value is '30'.

--delimiter VALUE
The delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.

-H, --headers
    For displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the column
    headers. For displaying XML results, it returns the HTTP headers from the
    service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

-I, --access-key-id VALUE

value is 'false'.

--show-table, --show-long, --show-xml, --quiet
    The way in which the results are displayed: tabular, delimited (long),
    XML or no output (quiet). Tabular shows a subset of the data in fixed
    column-width form, while long shows all of the returned values delimited
    by a character, XML is the raw return from the service and quiet
    suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.

-U, --url VALUE
    This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
    value can be set by using the environment variable
    'AWS_AUTO_SCALING_URL'.
