There are more AWS SDK examples available in the [AWS Doc SDK Examples](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples) GitHub repo.

# Auto Scaling examples using SDK for Kotlin
<a name="kotlin_1_auto-scaling_code_examples"></a>

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS SDK for Kotlin with Auto Scaling.

*Basics* are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.

*Actions* are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

### Learn the basics
<a name="auto-scaling_Scenario_GroupsAndInstances_kotlin_1_topic"></a>

The following code example shows how to:
+ Create an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group with a launch template and Availability Zones, and get information about running instances.
+ Enable Amazon CloudWatch metrics collection.
+ Update the group's desired capacity and wait for an instance to start.
+ Terminate an instance in the group.
+ List scaling activities that occur in response to user requests and capacity changes.
+ Get statistics for CloudWatch metrics, then clean up resources.
