Auto Scaling:DescribeLimitation

Last Updated:Nov 11, 2024

Queries resource quotas. For example, you can call the DescribeLimitation operation to query the maximum numbers of scheduled tasks that you can create in a scaling group, load balancers that you can attach to a scaling group, instances that you can add to a scaling group, and scaling configurations that you can create in a scaling group.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.
