Scales instances. The ScaleWithAdjustment operation differs from the ExecuteScalingRule operation in that ScaleWithAdjust can directly scale instances without requiring you to create a scaling rule in advance.
Operation description
-
Before you call this operation, take note of the following items:
- The scaling group is in the Active state.
- The scaling group has no ongoing scaling activities.
-
If no scaling activities in the scaling group are in progress, the operation can trigger scaling activities before the cooldown period of the scaling group expires.
-
If the addition of a specific number of Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances to the scaling group causes the total number of ECS instances in the scaling group to exceed the maximum allowed number, Auto Scaling adds ECS instances to the scaling group until the total number of instances is equal to the maximum allowed number.
-
If the removal of a specific number of ECS instances from the scaling group causes the total number of ECS instances in the scaling group to be less than the minimum allowed number, Auto Scaling removes ECS instances from the scaling group until the total number of instances is equal to the minimum allowed number.
A successful call indicates that Auto Scaling accepts the request. However, the scaling activity may still fail. You can obtain the status of a scaling activity based on the value of ScalingActivityId in the response.

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ScalingGroupId | string | Yes | The ID of the scaling group. | asg-j6c1o397427hyjdc**** |
| AdjustmentType | string | Yes | The type of the scaling policy. Valid values:

| AdjustmentValue | integer | Yes | The number of instances in each adjustment. The number of ECS instances in each adjustment cannot exceed 1,000.
| 100 |
| MinAdjustmentMagnitude | integer | No | The minimum number of instances allowed in each adjustment. This parameter takes effect only if you set the | 1 |
| ClientToken | string | No | The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the value, but you must ensure that the value is unique among different requests.
