<a name="example_auto-scaling_DescribeTerminationPolicyTypes_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `DescribeTerminationPolicyTypes`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To describe available termination policy types**  
This example describes the available termination policy types.

        "AllocationStrategy",
        "ClosestToNextInstanceHour",
        "Default",
        "NewestInstance",
        "OldestInstance",
        "OldestLaunchConfiguration",
        "OldestLaunchTemplate"
    ]
}
```
