Auto Scaling:ModifyScalingConfiguration

最終更新日:Dec 11, 2024

Modifies a scaling configuration.

Operation description

  • If you want to change the name of a scaling configuration in a scaling group, make sure that the new name is unique within the scaling group.

  • If you want to bind a primary elastic network interface (ENI) when you call this operation, you must use one of the following methods. If you use the following methods at the same time, the call fails and an error is reported. In addition, if you use one of the following methods to modify the ENI information when you call this operation, the ENI information configured by using the other method is cleared.

    • You can specify SecurityGroupId, SecurityGroupIds, and Ipv6AddressCount to configure ENI-related information.
    • You can specify NetworkInterfaces to configure primary and secondary ENIs. You must use NetworkInterface to specify at least one primary ENI. If you set NetworkInterface.InstanceType to Primary, it specifies that a primary ENI is configured. If you set NetworkInterface.InstanceType to Secondary or leave it empty, it specifies that a secondary ENI is configured.

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.

Note If you specify this parameter, you cannot specify SystemDisk.Category.
stringNo

The category of the system disk. If Auto Scaling cannot create disks by using the disk category of the highest priority, Auto Scaling creates disks by using the disk category of the next highest priority. Valid values:

  • cloud: basic disk.
  • cloud_efficiency: ultra disk.
  • cloud_ssd: standard SSD.
  • cloud_essd: ESSD.
Note If you specify this parameter, you cannot specify SystemDisk.Category.
cloud
PasswordstringNo

The password of the ECS instance. The password must be 8 to 30 characters in length and contain at least three of the following character types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters. The following special characters are supported:

`()~!@#$%^&*-_+=|{}[]:;'<>,.?/

The password of a Windows instance cannot start with a forward slash (/).

Note We recommend that you use HTTPS to send requests if you specify Password to avoid password leakage.
123abc****
SystemDisk.EncryptedbooleanNo

Specifies whether to encrypt the system disk. Valid values:

  • true
  • false

Default value: false.

false
SystemDisk.KMSKeyIdstringNo

The ID of the KMS key that you want to use to encrypt the system disk.

0e478b7a-4262-4802-b8cb-00d3fb40****
SystemDisk.EncryptAlgorithmstringNo

The encryption algorithm of the system disk. Valid values:

  • AES-256
  • SM4-128

Default value: AES-256.

AES-256
SystemDisk.ProvisionedIopslongNo

The IOPS metric that is preconfigured for the system disk.

Note IOPS measures the number of read and write operations that an EBS device can process per second.
100
SystemDisk.BurstingEnabledbooleanNo

Specifies whether to enable the Burst feature for the system disk. Valid values:

  • true
  • false
Note If you set SystemDisk.Category to cloud_auto, you can specify this parameter.
false
ImageOptions.LoginAsNonRootbooleanNo

Specifies whether to use ecs-user to log on to an ECS instance created from the scaling configuration. For information about logon usernames, see Manage the logon username of an instance. Valid values:

true

false

false
DeletionProtectionbooleanNo

Specifies whether to enable the Release Protection feature for ECS instances. If you enable this feature, you cannot directly release the ECS instances in the ECS console or by calling the DeleteInstance operation. Valid values:

  • true: enables the Release Protection feature. In this case, you cannot directly release the ECS instances in the ECS console or by calling the DeleteInstance operation.
  • false: disables the Release Protection feature. In this case, you can directly release the ECS instances in the ECS console or by calling the DeleteInstance operation.
Note You can enable the Release Protection feature only for pay-as-you-go instances to prevent accidental instance deletion. The Release Protection feature does not affect normal scaling activities. An instance that meets the criteria of scale-in policies can be removed from a scaling group during a scale-in event, regardless of whether you enabled the Release Protection feature for the instance.
false
CustomPrioritiesarray<object>No

The priority of the custom ECS instance type + vSwitch combination.

Note This setting is valid only if the scaling policy of the scaling group is a priority policy.

If Auto Scaling cannot create ECS instances by using the custom ECS instance type + vSwitch combination of the highest priority, Auto Scaling creates ECS instances by using the custom ECS instance type + vSwitch combination of the next highest priority.

Note If you specify the priorities of only a part of custom ECS instance type + vSwitch combinations, Auto Scaling preferentially creates ECS instances by using the custom combinations that have the specified priorities. If the custom combinations that have the specified priorities do not provide sufficient resources, Auto Scaling creates ECS instances by using the custom combinations that do not have the specified priorities based on the specified orders of vSwitches and instance types.
  • Example: The specified order of vSwitches for your scaling group is vsw1 and vsw2, and the specified order of instance types in your scaling configuration is type1 and type 2. In addition, you use CustomPriorities to specify ["vsw2+type2", "vsw1+type2"]. In this example, the vsw2+type2 combination has the highest priority and the vsw2+type1 combination has the lowest priority. The vsw1+type2 combination has a higher priority than the vsw1+type1 combination.
objectNo
InstanceTypestringNo

The ECS instance type.

Note The ECS instance type must be included in the instance types specified in the scaling configuration.
ecs.c6a.4xlarge
VswitchIdstringNo

The vSwitch ID.

Note The vSwitch must be included in the vSwitch list of the scaling group.
vsw-bp14zolna43z266bq****
NetworkInterfacesarray<object>No

The ENIs.

objectNo

The ENI.

InstanceTypestringNo

The ENI type. If you specify this parameter, you must use NetworkInterfaces to specify a primary ENI. In addition, you cannot specify SecurityGroupId or SecurityGroupIds. Valid values:

  • Primary: the primary ENI.
  • Secondary: the secondary ENI.

Default value: Secondary.

Primary
NetworkInterfaceTrafficModestringNo

The communication mode of the ENI. Valid values:

  • Standard: uses the TCP communication mode.
  • HighPerformance: uses the remote direct memory access (RDMA) communication mode with Elastic RDMA Interface (ERI) enabled.

Default value: Standard.

Note The number of ERIs on an instance cannot exceed the maximum number of ERIs supported by the instance type. For more information, see Overview of instance families.
HighPerformance
Ipv6AddressCountintegerNo

The number of randomly generated IPv6 addresses that you want to allocate to the primary ENI. Before you specify this parameter, take note of the following items:

This parameter takes effect only if you set NetworkInterface.InstanceType to Primary. If you set NetworkInterface.InstanceType to Secondary or leave it empty, you cannot specify this parameter.

After you specify this parameter, you can no longer specify Ipv6AddressCount.

1
SecurityGroupIdsarrayNo

The IDs of the security groups to which you want to assign the ENI.

stringNo

The ID of the security group to which you want to assign the ENI. Before you specify this parameter, take note of the following items:

  • If you set NetworkInterface.InstanceType to Primary, you must also specify this parameter. This parameter has the same effect as SecurityGroupIds. You can specify only SecurityGroupId or SecurityGroupIds.
  • If you set NetworkInterface.InstanceType to Secondary or leave it empty, this parameter is optional. By default, the primary ENI and the ECS instances created from the scaling configuration share the same security group.
sg-2ze55shrxxxxx
DedicatedHostClusterIdstringNo

The ID of the dedicated host cluster.
