It will also be honored by Nomad 40 during job updates and scaling operations. Defaults to the specified task group [count][]. 41 42 - `max` - <code>(int: <required>)</code> - The maximum acceptable count for the task group. 43 This should be honored by the external autoscaler. It will also be honored by Nomad 44 during job updates and scaling operations. 45 46 - `enabled` - <code>(bool: false)</code> - Whether the scaling policy is enabled. 47 This is intended to allow temporarily disabling an autoscaling policy, and should be 48 honored by the external autoscaler. 49 50 - `policy` - <code>(map<string|...>: nil)</code> - The autoscaling policy. This is 51 opaque to Nomad, consumed and parsed only by the external autoscaler. Therefore, 52 its contents are specific to the autoscaler; see autoscaler documentation. 53 54 [count]: /docs/job-specification/group/#count 'Nomad Task Group specification'
