DEPRECATED ¶

Removed in Ansible:
	version: 1.5.0
Why:	Alibaba Cloud module name prefix “ali” will be more concise.
Alternative:	Use ali_ess_configuration instead.

Synopsis ¶

Scaling configuration defines the configuration of ECS instances used for Auto Scaling. When adding ECS instances to a scaling group, Auto Scaling creates the ECS instances according to the scaling configuration.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

footmark >= 1.3.0
python >= 2.6

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
alicloud_access_key			Aliyun Cloud access key. If not set then the value of environment variable `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY`, `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID` will be used instead. aliases: access_key_id, access_key
alicloud_region			The Aliyun Cloud region to use. If not specified then the value of environment variable `ALICLOUD_REGION`, `ALICLOUD_REGION_ID` will be used instead. aliases: region, region_id
alicloud_secret_key			Aliyun Cloud secret key. If not set then the value of environment variable `ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY`, `ALICLOUD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` will be used instead. aliases: secret_access_key, secret_key
alicloud_security_token			The Aliyun Cloud security token. If not specified then the value of environment variable `ALICLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN` will be used instead. aliases: security_token
data_disks			List of hash/dictionaries data disks for scaling ECS instances. A maximum of four items can be entered.
	category	Choices: cloud_efficiency ← cloud_ssd	Category of data disk.
	size		Size of data disk, in GB. The valid value range [20, 32768]. Ignored when snapshot_id.
	delete_with_instance bool	Choices: no yes ←	Whether the data disk will be released along with the instance.
	snapshot_id		Snapshot used for creating the data disk.
group_id			ID of the scaling group of a scaling configuration. aliases: scaling_group_id
id			The ID of existing scaling configuration. aliases: configuration_id
image_id			Image ID used to scale ECS instances. Required when `state=present`. aliases: image
instance_type			Instance type used to scale ECS instances. Required when `state=present`. aliases: type
internet_charge_type		Choices: PayByBandwidth ← PayByTraffic	Internet charge type of scaling ECS instance.
key_name			The name of key pair which is used to access ECS instance in SSH. aliases: keypair
max_bandwidth_in		Default: 200	For scaling ECS instance, maximum incoming bandwidth from the public network, measured in Mbps (Mega bit per second). Valid values range [1,200].
max_bandwidth_out		Default: 0	For scaling ECS instance, maximum outgoing bandwidth to the public network, measured in Mbps (Mega bit per second). Valid values range [0,100].
name			The name of scaling configuration. The name must contain 2-40 English or Chinese characters, and start with a number, a letter in upper or lower case or a Chinese character. The name can contain numbers, "_", "-" or ".". Default to configuration Id. aliases: configuration_name
ram_role_name			The name of the instance RAM role. aliases: ram_role
security_group_id			Security Group id used to scale ECS instances.
state		Choices: present ← active inactive absent	The state of the scaling configuration after operating.
system_disk_category		Choices: cloud_efficiency ← cloud_ssd	Category of the system disk.
system_disk_size			Size of the system disk, in GB. The valid value range [40, 500]. Default to maximum of specified value and image size.
tags			A hash/dictionaries of instance tags, to add to the new instance or for starting/stopping instance by tag. `{"key":"value"}`
user_data			User-defined data to customize the startup behaviors of an ECS instance and to pass data into an ECS instance. It only will take effect when launching the new ECS instances.

Notes ¶

Note

If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY or ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID, ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY or ALICLOUD_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, ALICLOUD_REGION or ALICLOUD_REGION_ID, ALICLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN
ALICLOUD_REGION or ALICLOUD_REGION_ID can be typically be used to specify the ALICLOUD region, when required, but this can also be configured in the footmark config file
