Auto Scaling:AttachAlbServerGroups

Last Updated:Jun 24, 2024

Attaches Application Load Balancer (ALB) server groups to a scaling group. To seamlessly adjust the number of instances in response to changes in your business workload or to maintain the uninterrupted accessibility of your application, you can call the AttachAlbServerGroups operation. By attaching ALB server groups to your scaling group, this operation enables Auto Scaling to automatically tailor your computing capacity to your business needs. Furthermore, it optimizes traffic routing by dynamically allocating incoming requests based on current workload patterns, which significantly improves the stability and performance of your application.

Before you call the operation to attach an ALB server group to your scaling group, make sure that the following requirements are met:

  • The scaling group and the ALB server group share the same virtual private cloud (VPC).
  • The ALB server group is in the Available state.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.
