# AWS::Batch::ComputeEnvironment ComputeScalingPolicy
<a name="aws-properties-batch-computeenvironment-computescalingpolicy"></a>

An object that represents a scaling policy for a compute environment.

## Syntax
<a name="aws-properties-batch-computeenvironment-computescalingpolicy-syntax"></a>

To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

### JSON
<a name="aws-properties-batch-computeenvironment-computescalingpolicy-syntax.json"></a>

```
{
  "[MinScaleDownDelayMinutes](#cfn-batch-computeenvironment-computescalingpolicy-minscaledowndelayminutes)" : Integer
}
```

### YAML
<a name="aws-properties-batch-computeenvironment-computescalingpolicy-syntax.yaml"></a>

```
  [MinScaleDownDelayMinutes](#cfn-batch-computeenvironment-computescalingpolicy-minscaledowndelayminutes): Integer
```

## Properties
<a name="aws-properties-batch-computeenvironment-computescalingpolicy-properties"></a>

`MinScaleDownDelayMinutes`  <a name="cfn-batch-computeenvironment-computescalingpolicy-minscaledowndelayminutes"></a>
The minimum time (in minutes) that AWS Batch keeps instances running in the compute environment after their jobs complete. For each instance, the delay period begins when the last job finishes. If no new jobs are placed on the instance during this delay, AWS Batch terminates the instance once the delay expires.  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 20. Maximum value of 10080. Use 0 to unset and disable the scale down delay.  
The scale down delay does not apply to:  
+ Instances being replaced during infrastructure updates
+ Newly launched instances that have not yet run any jobs
+ Spot instances reclaimed due to interruption
*Required*: No  
*Type*: Integer  
*Update requires*: [Some interruptions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-some-interrupt)
