) OpenAPI adopts RPC Signature style. See signature details in Description of the signature mechanism. We have packaged SDKs for common programming languages for developers. Developers can directly call the OpenAPI of this product by downloading the SDK without paying attention to the technical details. If the existing SDK cannot meet the usage requirements, you can connect through the signature mechanism. It will take about 5 working days. Therefore, it is recommended to join our DingTalk service group (78410016550) and sign under the guidance of experts. Before using the API, you need to prepare your identity account and access key (AccessKey) to effectively access the API through client tools (SDK, CLI, etc.). For details see getAccessKey.
Scaling groups
API | Title | Description |
---|---|---|
CreateScalingGroup | CreateScalingGroup | Creates a scaling group. You can call the CreateScalingGroup operation to automate the adjustment of computing power of a specific type based on your business requirements and scaling polices. |
ModifyScalingGroup | ModifyScalingGroup | Modifies a scaling group. If you want to enable policy-based automatic addition or removal of instances of a specific type to meet evolving business requirements, you can modify scaling groups to adjust your computing power with ease. The computing power refers to the instances that provide the computing capability. When your scaling group cannot meet your business requirements, you can call the ModifyScalingGroup operation to modify scaling group attributes such as the maximum, minimum, and expected numbers of instances. This prevents repeated creation and configuration of scaling groups, which saves you a lot of time and resource costs. |
EnableScalingGroup | EnableScalingGroup | Enables a scaling group. If a scaling group is in the Disabled state and contains an instance configuration source such as a launch template or a scaling configuration, you can call the EnableScalingGroup operation to enable the scaling group. This operation permits Auto Scaling to dynamically adjust the computing power (also known as the number of instances) in the scaling group based on your business requirements. |
DisableScalingGroup | DisableScalingGroup | Disables a scaling group. If you temporarily do not require a scaling group that is in the Enabled state, you can call the DisableScalingGroup operation to disable it. |
SetGroupDeletionProtection | SetGroupDeletionProtection | Sets deletion protection for a scaling group. If you enable deletion protection for a scaling group, you cannot delete the scaling group. If you disable deletion protection for a scaling group, you can directly delete the scaling group. You can call the SetGroupDeletionProtection operation to enable or disable deletion protection. |
DeleteScalingGroup | DeleteScalingGroup | Deletes a scaling group. If you want to enable policy-based automatic addition or removal of instances of a specific type to meet evolving business requirements, you can create scaling groups to manage your computing power with ease.

You can call the AttachLoadBalancers operation to attach one or more load balancers to your scaling group. |
DetachLoadBalancers | DetachLoadBalancers | Detaches Classic Load Balancer (CLB, formerly known as Server Load Balancer or SLB) instances from a scaling group. If the current CLB instance no longer meets your business requirements, you can call the DetachLoadBalancers operation to detach it from your scaling group. When you call this operation, you can use ScalingGroupId, LoadBalancer.N, and ForceDetach to specify one or more CLB instances to detach. You can also determine whether to call this operation asynchronously and whether to remove the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances acting as backend servers from the backend server groups of the CLB instance. You can call this operation to detach only CLB instances from a scaling group. |
AttachDBInstances | AttachDBInstances | Associates one or more ApsaraDB RDS instances with a scaling group. |

ResumeProcesses | ResumeProcesses | Resumes suspended processes in a scaling group. |
AttachVServerGroups | AttachVServerGroups | Attaches vServer groups to a scaling group. After a Classic Load Balancer (CLB) instance is attached to your scaling group, the instances in the scaling group are automatically added as backend servers of the CLB instance. These servers then handle requests forwarded by the CLB instance, streamlining the processing of incoming traffic. To direct varying access requests to separate backend servers or to distribute requests based on domain names or URLs, you can call the AttachVServerGroups operation. This operation enables the addition of multiple vServer groups, allowing for efficient management of various backend server configurations tailored to your routing preferences. |
DetachVServerGroups | DetachVServerGroups | Detaches vServer groups from a scaling group. Auto Scaling supports the attachment of load balancers to scaling groups to improve service performance.

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. |
ChangeResourceGroup | ChangeResourceGroup | Changes a resource group. Resource groups are a means to categorize and manage cloud resources, such as scaling groups, based on specific objectives, permissions, or ownership. In large, multifaceted organizations that manage numerous projects and users, this feature adopts a tiered management approach, simplifying management tasks and improving the effectiveness and oversight of resource allocation. You can call the ChangeResourceGroup operation to move your scaling groups from one resource group to another resource group, which facilitates streamlined monitoring and management within the context of the new group.

You can also call this operation to query the total number of existing scheduled tasks. |
DeleteScheduledTask | DeleteScheduledTask | Deletes scheduled tasks. For workloads with predictable patterns, you can create scheduled tasks to align with your business requirements and optimize resource utilization for cost savings. These tasks automatically ensure that sufficient computing resources are provisioned in anticipation of peak hours and efficiently release unused resources during off-peak hours, thereby streamlining operational efficiency and reducing expenses. If you no longer require a scheduled task, you can call the DeleteScheduledTask operation to delete it. |
Event-triggered tasks
API | Title | Description |
---|---|---|
CreateAlarm | CreateAlarm | Creates event-triggered tasks.

If your business pattern is unpredictable or prone to unforeseen traffic spikes, you can create event-triggered tasks by associating CloudMonitor metrics to effectively monitor fluctuations in your business workload. Upon detecting that the criteria for alerts, as specified in event-triggered tasks, are fulfilled, Auto Scaling promptly issues alerts and executes the scaling rules predefined within those tasks. This process occurs within the predefined effective time windows of the tasks, thereby facilitating the automatic increase or decrease of Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances or elastic container instances within your scaling groups. Ultimately, this mechanism ensures the dynamic optimization of resources based on real-time workload demands. If you want to reuse an event-triggered task that is in the Disabled state, you can call the EnableAlarm operation to enable it. |

This process occurs within the predefined effective time windows of the tasks, thereby facilitating the automatic increase or decrease of Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances or elastic container instances within your scaling groups. Ultimately, this mechanism ensures the dynamic optimization of resources based on real-time workload demands. If you currently do not need an event-triggered task, you can call the DisableAlarm operation to disable it. |

---|---|---|
EnterStandby | EnterStandby | Puts an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance into the Standby state. |
ExitStandby | ExitStandby | Removes an instance from the Standby state. When a scale-in event is triggered in a scaling group, Auto Scaling does not remove Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances or elastic container instances that are in the Standby state from the scaling group. If you want to restart the instances that are in the Standby state, you can call the ExitStandby operation to remove the instances from the Standby state and put them into the In Service state. |
