AWS Auto Scaling Group (ASG) Terraform module

Terraform module which creates Auto Scaling resources on AWS.

SWUbanner

Available Features

  • Autoscaling group with launch template - either created by the module or utilizing an existing launch template
  • Autoscaling group utilizing mixed instances policy
  • Ability to configure autoscaling groups to set instance refresh configuration and add lifecycle hooks
  • Ability to create an autoscaling group that respects desired_capacity or one that ignores to allow for scaling without conflicting Terraform diffs
  • IAM role and instance profile creation

Conditional creation

The following combinations are supported to conditionally create resources and/or use externally created resources within the module:

Note: the default behavior of the module is to create an autoscaling group and launch template.

  • Disable resource creation (no resources created):
  create                 = false
  create_launch_template = false
  • Create only a launch template:
  create = false
  • Create an autoscaling group using an externally created launch template:
  create_launch_template = false
  launch_template        = aws_launch_template.my_launch_template.name
  • Create an autoscaling group with a mixed instance policy:
  use_mixed_instances_policy = true
  • Create the autoscaling policies:
  scaling_policies = {
    my-policy = {
      policy_type               = "TargetTrackingScaling"
      target_tracking_configuration = {
        predefined_metric_specification = {
          predefined_metric_type = "ASGAverageCPUUtilization"
          resource_label         = "MyLabel"
        }
        target_value = 50.0
      }
    }
  }
