For help getting started with CloudFormation, see the [AWS CloudFormation User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/Welcome.html). # AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget The `AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget` resource specifies a resource that Application Auto Scaling can scale, such as an AWS::DynamoDB::Table or AWS::ECS::Service resource. For more information, see [Getting started](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/application/userguide/getting-started.html) in the *Application Auto Scaling User Guide*. **Note** If the resource that you want Application Auto Scaling to scale is not yet created in your account, add a dependency on the resource when registering it as a scalable target using the [DependsOn](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-attribute-dependson.html) attribute. ## Syntax To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax: ### JSON ``` { "Type" : "AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget", "Properties" : { "[MaxCapacity](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-maxcapacity)" : Integer, "[MinCapacity](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-mincapacity)" : Integer, "[ResourceId](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-resourceid)" : String, "[RoleARN](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-rolearn)" : String, "[ScalableDimension](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-scalabledimension)" : String, "[ScheduledActions](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-scheduledactions)" : [ ScheduledAction, ... ], "[ServiceNamespace](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-servicenamespace)" : String, "[SuspendedState](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-suspendedstate)" : SuspendedState } } ``` ### YAML ``` Type: AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget Properties: [MaxCapacity](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-maxcapacity): Integer [MinCapacity](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-mincapacity): Integer [ResourceId](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-resourceid): String [RoleARN](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-rolearn): String [ScalableDimension](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-scalabledimension): String [ScheduledActions](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-scheduledactions): - ScheduledAction [ServiceNamespace](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-servicenamespace): String [SuspendedState](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-suspendedstate): SuspendedState ``` ## Properties `MaxCapacity` The maximum value that you plan to scale out to.

For example: `service/ecsStack-MyECSCluster-AB12CDE3F4GH/ecsStack-MyECSService-AB12CDE3F4GH|ecs:service:DesiredCount|ecs`. CloudFormation uses the following format to generate the ID: `service/resource_ID|scalable_dimension|service_namespace`. For more information about using the `Ref` function, see [Ref](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/intrinsic-function-reference-ref.html). ### Fn::GetAtt The `Fn::GetAtt` intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values. For more information about using the `Fn::GetAtt` intrinsic function, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-getatt.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-getatt.html). ## Examples Each scalable target has a service namespace, scalable dimension, and resource ID, as well as values for minimum and maximum capacity. For more sample template snippets, see [Configure Application Auto Scaling resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/quickref-application-auto-scaling.html). This section also provides examples of scheduled actions. ### Register a scalable target The following example creates a scalable target for an [AWS::Cassandra::Table](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-cassandra-table.html) resource. Application Auto Scaling can scale the write capacity throughput at a minimum of 1 capacity unit and a maximum of 20. To register a different resource supported by Application Auto Scaling, specify its namespace in `ServiceNamespace`, its scalable dimension in `ScalableDimension`, its resource ID in `ResourceId`, and its service-linked role in `RoleARN`. **Note** The `RoleArn` property references a service-linked role that is created for you after you use Application Auto Scaling with the specified resource for the first time. #### JSON ``` { "ScalableTarget":{ "Type":"AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget", "Properties":{ "MaxCapacity":20, "MinCapacity":1, "RoleARN":{ "Fn::Sub":"arn:aws:iam::${AWS::AccountId}:role/aws-service-role/cassandra.application-autoscaling.amazonaws.com/AWSServiceRoleForApplicationAutoScaling_CassandraTable" }, "ServiceNamespace":"cassandra", "ScalableDimension":"cassandra:table:WriteCapacityUnits", "ResourceId":"keyspace/mykeyspace/table/mytable" } } } ``` #### YAML ``` ScalableTarget: Type: AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget Properties: MaxCapacity: 20 MinCapacity: 1 RoleARN: Fn::Sub: 'arn:aws:iam::${AWS::AccountId}:role/aws-service-role/cassandra.application-autoscaling.amazonaws.com/AWSServiceRoleForApplicationAutoScaling_CassandraTable' ServiceNamespace: cassandra ScalableDimension: cassandra:table:WriteCapacityUnits ResourceId: keyspace/mykeyspace/table/mytable ``` ## See also + You can find additional useful snippets in the following section of the *AWS CloudFormation User Guide*: [Configure Application Auto Scaling resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/quickref-application-auto-scaling.html) + For example implementations, see the following articles on the AWS Blog: + [How to use AWS CloudFormation to configure auto scaling for Amazon DynamoDB tables and indexes](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/how-to-use-aws-cloudformation-to-configure-auto-scaling-for-amazon-dynamodb-tables-and-indexes/) + [Scheduling AWS Lambda Provisioned Concurrency for recurring peak usage](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/scheduling-aws-lambda-provisioned-concurrency-for-recurring-peak-usage/) # AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget ScalableTargetAction `ScalableTargetAction` specifies the minimum and maximum capacity for the `ScalableTargetAction` property of the [AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget ScheduledAction](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-scheduledaction.html) property type. ## Syntax To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax: ### JSON ``` { "[MaxCapacity](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-scalabletargetaction-maxcapacity)" : Integer, "[MinCapacity](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-scalabletargetaction-mincapacity)" : Integer } ``` ### YAML ``` [MaxCapacity](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-scalabletargetaction-maxcapacity): Integer [MinCapacity](#cfn-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget-scalabletargetaction-mincapacity): Integer ``` ## Properties `MaxCapacity` The maximum capacity. *Required*: No *Type*: Integer *Update requires*: [No interruption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-no-interrupt) `MinCapacity` The minimum capacity. *Required*: No *Type*: Integer *Update requires*: [No interruption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-no-interrupt) ## See also + [Configure Application Auto Scaling resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/quickref-application-auto-scaling.html) + [Getting started](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/application/userguide/getting-started.html) in the *Application Auto Scaling User Guide* # AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget ScheduledAction `ScheduledAction` is a property of the [AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalableTarget](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-applicationautoscaling-scalabletarget.html) resource that specifies a scheduled action for a scalable target.
