public interface AmazonAutoScaling

Interface for accessing AmazonAutoScaling.

Amazon Auto Scaling is an easy-to-use web service designed to automatically launch or terminate EC2 instances based on user defined triggers. Users can set up Auto Scaling groups and associate triggers with these groups to automatically scale computing resources based on parameters such as bandwidth usage or CPU utilization. Auto Scaling groups can work across multiple Availability Zones - distinct physical locations for the hosted EC2 instances - so that if an Availability Zone becomes unhealthy or unavailable, Auto Scaling will automatically re-distribute applications to a healthy Availability Zone.

Method Detail

setEndpoint

void setEndpoint(String endpoint)
                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("https://autoscaling.amazonaws.com"). Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.

Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "ec2.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "https://ec2.amazonaws.com"). If the protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's ClientConfiguration will be used, which by default is HTTPS.

Parameters:

endpoint - The endpoint (ex: "ec2.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "https://ec2.amazonaws.com") of the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If any problems are detected with the specified endpoint.

Deletes all configuration for the specified AutoScalingGroup and deletes the group.

In order to successfully call this API, no triggers can be currently in progress. Once this call successfully executes, no further triggers will begin, and the specified AutoScalingGroup will not be available for use in other API calls.

NOTE: The client cannot delete an AutoScalingGroup if it contains instances or if there are scaling activities in progress. Before attempting to delete an AutoScalingGroup, call the UpdateAutoScalingGroup operation to set the minimum and maximum size of the AutoScalingGroup to zero. This will remove all instances and avoid problems with a previously set trigger preventing the deletion of the AutoScalingGroup.

Parameters:

deleteAutoScalingGroupRequest - Container for the necessary parameters to execute the DeleteAutoScalingGroup service method on AmazonAutoScaling.

Throws:

ScalingActivityInProgressException

ResourceInUseException

AmazonClientException - If any internal errors are encountered inside the client while attempting to make the request or handle the response. For example if a network connection is not available.

AmazonServiceException - If an error response is returned by AmazonAutoScaling indicating either a problem with the data in the request, or a server side issue.
