Auto Scaling:DescribeScalingGroupDetail

Last Updated:Dec 11, 2024

Queries a scaling group. You can call the DescribeScalingGroupDetail operation to query the basic information, instances, and scaling configurations of a scaling group. If you set OutputFormat to YAML for a scaling group of the Elastic Container Instance type, the output is a Kubernetes Deployment file in the YAML format.

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.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
    • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
  • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
  • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

If preemptible instance types are specified in the scaling configuration, Auto Scaling preferentially creates preemptible instances. You can also specify CompensateWithOnDemand to allow Auto Scaling to create pay-as-you-go instances in the case that preemptible instances cannot be created due to insufficient inventory of preemptible instance types.
