Modifying an AS Group

Function

This API is used to modify a specified AS group.

  • When the AS configuration of an AS group is changed, the existing instances created using the original AS configuration are not affected.
  • If no scaling action is being performed, you can modify its subnet, ELB, and AZ configurations.
  • Changing the number of expected instances in an AS group will trigger a scaling action to add or remove instances to or from the AS group. The number of expected instances must be greater than or equal to the minimum number of instances and less than or equal to the maximum number of instances.

Array of strings

Specifies the AZ information. The instances added in a scaling action will be created in a specified AZ. If you do not specify an AZ, the system automatically specifies one.

For details, see Regions and Endpoints.

You can change the AZ of an AS group only when no scaling action is being performed in the group.

networks

No

Array of networks objects

Specifies network information. You can select up to five subnets. The first subnet you select is used by the primary NICs of ECSs by default. For how to obtain information about subnets, see Querying Subnets. For the information about the data structure, see Table 4.

The value of this parameter can be changed only when all the following conditions are met:

  • No scaling actions are triggered in the AS group.
  • The number of instances in the AS group is 0.
  • The AS group is not in service.

security_groups

No

Array of security_groups objects

Specifies the security group information. A maximum of one security group can be selected. For how to obtain security group information, see Querying Security Groups. For information about the data structure, see Table 7.

If a security group is specified both in the AS configuration and AS group, scaled ECS instances will be added to the security group specified in the AS configuration. If a security group is not specified in either of them, scaled ECS instances will be added to the default security group. For your convenience, you are advised to specify the security group in the AS configuration. The value of this parameter can be changed only when all the following conditions are met:

  • No scaling actions are triggered in the AS group.
  • The number of instances in the AS group is 0.
  • The AS group is not in service.

Specifies information about an ELB load balancer. You can add up to six load balancers. This parameter is in list data structure. For details, see Table 3. For how to obtain information about an enhanced load balancer, see Querying Backend Server Groups.

health_periodic_audit_method

No

String

Specifies the health check method for instances in the AS group. The health check methods include ELB_AUDIT and NOVA_AUDIT. When load balancing is configured for an AS group, the default value is ELB_AUDIT. Otherwise, the default value is NOVA_AUDIT.

  • ELB_AUDIT: indicates the ELB health check, which takes effect in an AS group with a listener.
  • NOVA_AUDIT: indicates the ECS health check, which is the health check method delivered with AS.

health_periodic_audit_time

No

Integer

Specifies the health check period for the instances in the AS group. The value can be 1, 5, 15, 60, or 180 in the unit of minutes.

If the value is set to 0, health check is performed every 10 seconds.

instance_terminate_policy

No

String

Specifies the instance removal policy.

  • OLD_CONFIG_OLD_INSTANCE (default): The earlier-created instances based on the earlier-created AS configurations are removed first.
  • OLD_CONFIG_NEW_INSTANCE: The later-created instances based on the earlier-created AS configurations are removed first.
  • OLD_INSTANCE: The earlier-created instances are removed first.
  • NEW_INSTANCE: The later-created instances are removed first.

health_periodic_audit_grace_period

No

Integer

Specifies the grace period for instance health check. The unit is second and value range is 0-86400. The default value is 600.

The health check grace period starts after an instance is added to an AS group and is enabled. The AS group will start checking the instance status only after the grace period ends.

This parameter is valid only when the instance health check method of the AS group is ELB_AUDIT.

scaling_configuration_id

No

String

Specifies the AS configuration ID, which can be obtained using the API for querying AS configurations. For details, see Querying AS configurations.

notifications

No

Array of strings

Specifies the notification mode.

EMAIL refers to notification by email.

This notification mode has been canceled. You are advised to configure the notification function for the AS group. For details, see Notifications.

delete_publicip

No

Boolean

Specifies whether to delete the EIP bound to the ECS when deleting the ECS. If you do not want to delete the EIP, set this parameter to false. Then, the system only unbinds the EIP from the ECS and reserves the EIP.

  • true: deletes the EIP bound to the ECS when deleting the ECS. If the EIP is billed on a yearly/monthly basis, it will not be deleted when the ECS is deleted.
  • false: only unbinds the EIP bound to the ECS when deleting the ECS.

delete_volume

No

Boolean

Specifies whether to delete the data disks attached to the ECS when deleting the ECS. The value can be true or false. The default value is false.

  • true: deletes the data disks attached to the ECS when deleting the ECS. If the data disks are billed a yearly/monthly basis, they will not be deleted when the ECS is deleted.
  • false: only detaches the data disks attached to the ECS when deleting the ECS.

enterprise_project_id

No

String

Specifies the enterprise project ID, which is used to specify the enterprise project to which the AS group belongs.

  • If the value is 0 or left blank, the AS group belongs to the default enterprise project.
  • If the value is a UUID, the AS group belongs to the enterprise project corresponding to the UUID.. For how to obtain an enterprise project ID, see Querying Enterprise Projects.

If an enterprise project is configured for an AS group, ECSs created in this AS group also belong to this enterprise project. Otherwise, the default enterprise project will be used.

NOTE:

For details about enterprise project features, see Enterprise Project Management Service.

multi_az_priority_policy

No

String

Specifies the priority policy used to select target AZs when adjusting the number of instances in an AS group.

  • EQUILIBRIUM_DISTRIBUTE (default): When adjusting the number of instances, ensure that instances in each AZ in the available_zones list is evenly distributed. If instances cannot be added in the target AZ, select another AZ based on the PICK_FIRST policy.
  • PICK_FIRST: When adjusting the number of instances, target AZs are determined in the order in the available_zones list.

description

No

String

Specifies the description of the AS group. The value can contain 1 to 256 characters.

iam_agency_name

No

String

Specifies the agency name, in 1 to 64 characters.

  • If iam_agency_name is set to null, you do not need to modify it.

protocol_version

No

String

Specifies which version of IP addresses of backend servers will be bound with the load balancer. The value can be IPv4 or IPv6.

NOTE:
  • Instances in an AS group do not support IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack on multiple NICs. IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack is only available for the first NIC that supports both IPv4 and IPv6. The NIC may be a primary NIC or an extension NIC.
  • Only ECSs with flavors that support IPv6 addresses can use IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack networks. If you want to select IPv6 for this parameter, make sure that you have selected such ECS flavors in a supported region.
  • If you add two or more load balancers whose pool_id, protocol_port, and protocol_version settings are totally same, deduplication will be performed.
