    11  Provides an AutoScaling Group resource.
    12  
    13  ## Example Usage
    14  
    15  ```
    16  resource "aws_placement_group" "test" {
    17    name = "test"
    18    strategy = "cluster"
    19  }
    20  
    21  resource "aws_autoscaling_group" "bar" {
    22    availability_zones = ["us-east-1a"]
    23    name = "foobar3-terraform-test"

    29    force_delete = true
    30    placement_group = "${aws_placement_group.test.id}"
    31    launch_configuration = "${aws_launch_configuration.foobar.name}"
    32  
    33    tag {
    34      key = "foo"
    35      value = "bar"
    36      propagate_at_launch = true
    37    }
    38    tag {
    39      key = "lorem"
    40      value = "ipsum"
    41      propagate_at_launch = false
    42    }
    43  }
    44  ```
    45  
    46  ## Argument Reference
    47  
    48  The following arguments are supported:
    49  
    50  * `name` - (Optional) The name of the auto scale group. By default generated by terraform.
    51  * `max_size` - (Required) The maximum size of the auto scale group.
    52  * `min_size` - (Required) The minimum size of the auto scale group.
    53      (See also [Waiting for Capacity](#waiting-for-capacity) below.)
    54  * `availability_zones` - (Optional) A list of AZs to launch resources in.
    55     Required only if you do not specify any `vpc_zone_identifier`
    56  * `launch_configuration` - (Required) The name of the launch configuration to use.
    57  * `health_check_grace_period` - (Optional, Default: 300) Time (in seconds) after instance comes into service before checking health.
    58  * `health_check_type` - (Optional) "EC2" or "ELB". Controls how health checking is done.
    59  * `desired_capacity` - (Optional) The number of Amazon EC2 instances that
    60      should be running in the group. (See also [Waiting for
    61      Capacity](#waiting-for-capacity) below.)
    62  * `force_delete` - (Optional) Allows deleting the autoscaling group without waiting
    63     for all instances in the pool to terminate.  You can force an autoscaling group to delete
    64     even if it's in the process of scaling a resource. Normally, Terraform
    65     drains all the instances before deleting the group.  This bypasses that
    66     behavior and potentially leaves resources dangling.
    67  * `load_balancers` (Optional) A list of load balancer names to add to the autoscaling
    68     group names.
    69  * `vpc_zone_identifier` (Optional) A list of subnet IDs to launch resources in.
    70  * `target_group_arns` (Optional) A list of `aws_target_group` ARNs, for use with
    71  Application Load Balancing
    72  * `termination_policies` (Optional) A list of policies to decide how the instances in the auto scale group should be terminated. The allowed values are `OldestInstance`, `NewestInstance`, `OldestLaunchConfiguration`, `ClosestToNextInstanceHour`, `Default`.
    73  * `tag` (Optional) A list of tag blocks. Tags documented below.
    74  * `placement_group` (Optional) The name of the placement group into which you'll launch your instances, if any.
    75  * `metrics_granularity` - (Optional) The granularity to associate with the metrics to collect. The only valid value is `1Minute`. Default is `1Minute`.
    76  * `enabled_metrics` - (Optional) A list of metrics to collect. The allowed values are `GroupMinSize`, `GroupMaxSize`, `GroupDesiredCapacity`, `GroupInServiceInstances`, `GroupPendingInstances`, `GroupStandbyInstances`, `GroupTerminatingInstances`, `GroupTotalInstances`.
    77  * `wait_for_capacity_timeout` (Default: "10m") A maximum
    78    [duration](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration) that Terraform should
    79    wait for ASG instances to be healthy before timing out.  (See also [Waiting
    80    for Capacity](#waiting-for-capacity) below.) Setting this to "0" causes
    81    Terraform to skip all Capacity Waiting behavior.
    82  * `min_elb_capacity` - (Optional) Setting this causes Terraform to wait for
    83    this number of instances to show up healthy in the ELB only on creation.
    84    Updates will not wait on ELB instance number changes.
    85    (See also [Waiting for Capacity](#waiting-for-capacity) below.)
    86  * `wait_for_elb_capacity` - (Optional) Setting this will cause Terraform to wait
    87    for exactly this number of healthy instances in all attached load balancers
    88    on both create and update operations. (Takes precedence over
    89    `min_elb_capacity` behavior.)
    90    (See also [Waiting for Capacity](#waiting-for-capacity) below.)
    91  * `protect_from_scale_in` (Optional) Allows setting instance protection. The
    92     autoscaling group will not select instances with this setting for terminination
    93     during scale in events.
    94  
    95  Tags support the following:
    96  
    97  * `key` - (Required) Key
    98  * `value` - (Required) Value
    99  * `propagate_at_launch` - (Required) Enables propagation of the tag to
   100     Amazon EC2 instances launched via this ASG
   101

   123  
   124  ## Waiting for Capacity
   125  
   126  A newly-created ASG is initially empty and begins to scale to `min_size` (or
   127  `desired_capacity`, if specified) by launching instances using the provided
   128  Launch Configuration. These instances take time to launch and boot.
   129  
   130  On ASG Update, changes to these values also take time to result in the target
   131  number of instances providing service.
   132  
   133  Terraform provides two mechanisms to help consistently manage ASG scale up
   134  time across dependent resources.
   135  
   136  #### Waiting for ASG Capacity
   137  
   138  The first is default behavior. Terraform waits after ASG creation for
   139  `min_size` (or `desired_capacity`, if specified) healthy instances to show up
   140  in the ASG before continuing.
   141  
   142  If `min_size` or `desired_capacity` are changed in a subsequent update,
   143  Terraform will also wait for the correct number of healthy instances before
   144  continuing.
   145  
   146  Terraform considers an instance "healthy" when the ASG reports `HealthStatus:
   147  "Healthy"` and `LifecycleState: "InService"`. See the [AWS AutoScaling
   148  Docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AutoScaling/latest/DeveloperGuide/AutoScalingGroupLifecycle.html)
   149  for more information on an ASG's lifecycle.
   150  
   151  Terraform will wait for healthy instances for up to
   152  `wait_for_capacity_timeout`. If ASG creation is taking more than a few minutes,
   153  it's worth investigating for scaling activity errors, which can be caused by
   154  problems with the selected Launch Configuration.
   155  
   156  Setting `wait_for_capacity_timeout` to `"0"` disables ASG Capacity waiting.
   157  
   158  #### Waiting for ELB Capacity
   159  
   160  The second mechanism is optional, and affects ASGs with attached ELBs specified
   161  via the `load_balancers` attribute.
   162  
   163  The `min_elb_capacity` parameter causes Terraform to wait for at least the
   164  requested number of instances to show up `"InService"` in all attached ELBs
   165  during ASG creation.  It has no effect on ASG updates.
   166  
   167  If `wait_for_elb_capacity` is set, Terraform will wait for exactly that number
   168  of Instances to be `"InService"` in all attached ELBs on both creation and
   169  updates.
   170  
   171  These parameters can be used to ensure that service is being provided before
   172  Terraform moves on. If new instances don't pass the ELB's health checks for any
   173  reason, the Terraform apply will time out, and the ASG will be marked as
   174  tainted (i.e. marked to be destroyed in a follow up run).
   175  
   176  As with ASG Capacity, Terraform will wait for up to `wait_for_capacity_timeout`
   177  for the proper number of instances to be healthy.
   178  
   179  #### Troubleshooting Capacity Waiting Timeouts
   180  
   181  If ASG creation takes more than a few minutes, this could indicate one of a
   182  number of configuration problems. See the [AWS Docs on Load Balancer
   183  Troubleshooting](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/elb-troubleshooting.html)
   184  for more information.
