Auto Scaling:StartInstanceRefresh

Last Updated:Dec 17, 2024

Starts an instance refresh task. If you want to apply a new scaling configuration in a scaling group or update the image specified in a scaling configuration, you can call the StartInstanceRefresh operation.

Operation description

  • Only one instance refresh task can be executed at a time in a scaling group.
  • You can start instance refresh tasks for Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances in scaling groups that use the priority policy as the scaling policy. Scaling groups whose capacity is measured based on the number of vCPUs and scaling groups whose instance reclaim mode is Economical Mode or Forcibly Recycle do not support the StartInstanceRefresh operation.
  • When you start an instance refresh task, scaling events can be completed as expected. Take note that instances that are scaled out use the configurations specified in the instance refresh task.
  • The StartInstanceRefresh operation does not take effect on instances that are manually added or instances that are in the Standby and Protected states.

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.

Request parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
ScalingGroupIdstringYes

The ID of the scaling group.

asg-bp18p2yfxow2dloq****
ClientTokenstringNo

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length. For more information, see Ensure idempotence.

123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-42665544****
RegionIdstringYes

The region ID of the scaling group.

cn-hangzhou
MinHealthyPercentageintegerNo

The ratio of instances that are in the In Service state to all instances in the scaling group during instance refresh. Valid values: 0 to 100. Default value: 80.

80
MaxHealthyPercentageintegerNo

The ratio of instances that can exceed the upper limit of the scaling group capacity to all instances in the scaling group during instance refresh. Valid values: 100 to 200. Default value: 120.

Note If you set MinHealthyPercentage and MaxHealthyPercentage to 100, Auto Scaling refreshes the configurations of one instance each time the instance refresh task starts.
100
DesiredConfigurationobjectNo

The desired configurations of the instance refresh task.

Note
  • When you call this operation, you must specify one of the following parameters: ScalingConfigurationId and ImageId.

  • Instances whose configurations match the desired configurations of the task are ignored during instance refresh.

ImageIdstringNo

The image ID.

Note
  • After the instance refresh task is complete, the active scaling configuration uses the image specified by this parameter.

  • If the instance configuration source of the scaling group is a launch template, you cannot specify this parameter.

m-2ze8cqacj7opnf***
ScalingConfigurationIdstringNo

The ID of the scaling configuration.

Note After the instance refresh task is complete, the scaling group uses the scaling configuration specified by this parameter.
