Auto Scaling:ModifyScheduledTask

Last Updated:Jun 24, 2024

Modifies a scheduled task. If an existing scheduled task cannot meet your business requirements, you can call the ModifyScheduledTask operation to adjust its parameter settings including the scaling rule to execute and the boundary values of your scaling group, without the need to create a new scheduled task. This operation provides a flexible way to optimize scheduled tasks.

Operation description

You can use the following parameters to specify the scaling method of a scheduled task:

  • If you use the ScheduledAction parameter, you must select an existing scaling rule for the scheduled task.
  • If you use the ScalingGroupId parameter, you must specify the minimum number, maximum number, or expected number of instances in the scheduled task.
Note You cannot specify the ScheduledAction and ScalingGroupId parameters at the same time.

Debugging

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