1	# AWS CloudFormation Auto Scaling
2
3	## Overview
4
5	Create production-ready Auto Scaling infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation templates. This skill covers Auto Scaling Groups for EC2, ECS, and Lambda, launch configurations, launch templates, scaling policies, lifecycle hooks, and best practices for high availability and cost optimization.
6
7	## When to Use
8
9	Use this skill when:
10	- Creating Auto Scaling Groups for EC2 instances
11	- Configuring Launch Configurations or Launch Templates
12	- Implementing scaling policies (step, target tracking, simple)
13	- Adding lifecycle hooks for lifecycle management
14	- Creating scaling for ECS services
15	- Implementing Lambda provisioned concurrency scaling
16	- Organizing templates with Parameters, Outputs, Mappings, Conditions
17	- Implementing cross-stack references with export/import
18	- Using mixed instances policies for diversity
19
20	## Instructions
21
22	Follow these steps to create Auto Scaling infrastructure with CloudFormation:
23
24	### 1. Define Parameters
25
26	Specify capacity and instance settings with AWS-specific parameter types:
27
28	```yaml
29	Parameters:
30	MinSize:
31	Type: Number
32	Default: 2
33	Description: Minimum number of instances
34
35	MaxSize:
36	Type: Number
37	Default: 10
38	Description: Maximum number of instances
39
40	DesiredCapacity:
41	Type: Number
42	Default: 2
43	Description: Desired number of instances
44
45	InstanceType:
46	Type: AWS::EC2::Instance::Type
47	Default: t3.micro
48	Description: EC2 instance type
49
50	AmiId:
51	Type: AWS::EC2::Image::Id
52	Description: AMI ID for instances
53
54	SubnetIds:
55	Type: List<AWS::EC2::Subnet::Id>
56	Description: Subnets for Auto Scaling group
57	```
58
59	### 2. Create Launch Configuration
60
61	Define instance launch settings:
62
63	```yaml
64	Resources:
65	MyLaunchConfiguration:
66	Type: AWS::AutoScaling::LaunchConfiguration
67	Properties:
68	LaunchConfigurationName: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-lc"
69	ImageId: !Ref AmiId
70	InstanceType: !Ref InstanceType
71	KeyName: !Ref KeyName
72	SecurityGroups:
73	- !Ref InstanceSecurityGroup
74	InstanceMonitoring: Enabled
75	UserData:
76	Fn::Base64: \|
77	#!/bin/bash
78	yum update -y
79	yum install -y httpd
80	systemctl start httpd
81	```
82
83	### 3. Create Auto Scaling Group
84
85	Specify min/max/desired capacity and networking:
86
87	```yaml
88	Resources:
89	MyAutoScalingGroup:
90	Type: AWS::AutoScaling::AutoScalingGroup
91	Properties:
92	AutoScalingGroupName: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-asg"
93	MinSize: !Ref MinSize
94	MaxSize: !Ref MaxSize
95	DesiredCapacity: !Ref DesiredCapacity
96	VPCZoneIdentifier: !Ref SubnetIds
97	LaunchConfigurationName: !Ref MyLaunchConfiguration
98	TargetGroupARNs:
99	- !Ref MyTargetGroup
100	HealthCheckType: ELB
101	HealthCheckGracePeriod: 300
102	Tags:
103	- Key: Environment
104	Value: !Ref Environment
105	PropagateAtLaunch: true
106	```
107
108	### 4. Configure Load Balancer Integration
109
110	Set up ALB for traffic distribution:
111
112	```yaml
113	Resources:
114	MyTargetGroup:
115	Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::TargetGroup
116	Properties:
117	Name: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-tg"
118	Port: 80
119	Protocol: HTTP
120	VpcId: !Ref VPCId
121	HealthCheckPath: /
122	TargetType: instance
123
124	MyLoadBalancer:
125	Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::LoadBalancer
126	Properties:
127	Name: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-alb"
128	Scheme: internet-facing
129	Type: application
130	Subnets:
131	- !Ref PublicSubnet1
132	- !Ref PublicSubnet2
133	```
134
135	### 5. Add Scaling Policies
136
137	Implement target tracking scaling:
138
139	```yaml
140	Resources:
141	TargetTrackingPolicy:
142	Type: AWS::AutoScaling::ScalingPolicy
143	Properties:
144	PolicyName: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-target-tracking"
145	PolicyType: TargetTrackingScaling
146	AutoScalingGroupName: !Ref MyAutoScalingGroup
147	TargetTrackingConfiguration:
148	PredefinedMetricSpecification:
149	PredefinedMetricType: ASGAverageCPUUtilization
150	TargetValue: 70
151	DisableScaleIn: false
152	```
153
154	### 6. Configure Lifecycle Hooks
155
156	Implement hooks for graceful instance management:
157
158	```yaml
159	Resources:
160	LifecycleHookTermination:
161	Type: AWS::AutoScaling::LifecycleHook
162	Properties:
163	LifecycleHookName: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-termination-hook"
164	AutoScalingGroupName: !Ref MyAutoScalingGroup
165	LifecycleTransition: autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_TERMINATING
166	HeartbeatTimeout: 300
167	NotificationTargetARN: !Ref SNSTopic
168	RoleARN: !Ref LifecycleHookRole
169	```
170
171	### 7. Set Up Monitoring
172
173	Configure CloudWat
