Construct which creates an Auto Scaling group.

By default, all EC2 instances in this group will use [[GuInstanceRole]], which provides common permissions (e.g. the ability to download an artifact and write logs to the account's logging Kinesis stream).

If additional IAM permissions are required, a custom role can be provided via the role prop. You may wish to instantiate [[GuInstanceRole]] yourself as a basis for this custom role, as it allows custom permissions to be passed in.

All EC2 instances in this group will be automatically associated with two security groups:

  1. [[GuHttpsEgressSecurityGroup]], which allows outbound traffic over HTTPS.
  2. [[GuWazuhAccess]], which allows instances to communicate with Wazuh (for security monitoring).

If additional ingress or egress rules are required, define custom security groups and pass them in via the additionalSecurityGroups prop.

All EC2 instances provisioned via this construct will use IMDSv2.

Hierarchy

  • Mixin<typeof AutoScalingGroup, this> & AutoScalingGroup<this>
    • GuAutoScalingGroup

Constructors

Properties

albTargetGroup?: ApplicationTargetGroup
amiParameter: GuAmiParameter
app: string
autoScalingGroupArn: string

Arn of the AutoScalingGroup

autoScalingGroupName: string

Name of the AutoScalingGroup

env: ResourceEnvironment

The environment this resource belongs to. For resources that are created and managed by the CDK (generally, those created by creating new class instances like Role, Bucket, etc.), this is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to; however, for imported resources (those obtained from static methods like fromRoleArn, fromBucketName, etc.), that might be different than the stack they were imported into.

grantPrincipal: IPrincipal

The principal to grant permissions to

hasCalledScaleOnRequestCount: boolean
idWithApp: string

The ID of the construct with the App suffix. This should be used in place of id when trying to reference the construct.

imageRecipe?: string | AmigoProps
instanceLaunchTemplate: LaunchTemplate
maxInstanceLifetime?: Duration

The maximum amount of time that an instance can be in service.

newInstancesProtectedFromScaleIn?: boolean
node: Node

The tree node.

osType: OperatingSystemType

The type of OS instances of this fleet are running.

physicalName: string

Returns a string-encoded token that resolves to the physical name that should be passed to the CloudFormation resource.

This value will resolve to one of the following:

  • a concrete value (e.g. "my-awesome-bucket")
  • undefined, when a name should be generated by CloudFormation
  • a concrete name generated automatically during synthesis, in cross-environment scenarios.
spotPrice?: string

The maximum spot price configured for the autoscaling group. undefined indicates that this group uses on-demand capacity.

stack: Stack

The stack in which this resource is defined.

Accessors

  • get connections(): Connections
  • The network connections associated with this resource.

    Returns Connections

  • get role(): IRole
  • The IAM Role in the instance profile

    Returns IRole

    an error if a launch template is given

  • get userData(): UserData
  • The Base64-encoded user data to make available to the launched EC2 instances.

    Returns UserData

    an error if a launch template is given and it does not provide a non-null userData

Methods

  • Internal

    Called when this resource is referenced across environments (account/region) to order to request that a physical name will be generated for this resource during synthesis, so the resource can be referenced through its absolute name/arn.

    Returns void

  • Send a message to either an SQS queue or SNS topic when instances launch or terminate

    Parameters

    • id: string
    • props: BasicLifecycleHookProps

    Returns LifecycleHook

  • Add the security group to all instances via the launch template security groups array.

    Parameters

    • securityGroup: ISecurityGroup

    Returns void

  • Adds a statement to the IAM role assumed by instances of this fleet.

    Parameters

    • statement: PolicyStatement

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • ...commands: string[]

    Returns void

  • Add a pool of pre-initialized EC2 instances that sits alongside an Auto Scaling group

    Parameters

    • Optionaloptions: WarmPoolOptions

    Returns WarmPool

  • Use a CloudFormation Init configuration at instance startup

    This does the following:

    • Attaches the CloudFormation Init metadata to the AutoScalingGroup resource.
    • Add commands to the UserData to run cfn-init and cfn-signal.
    • Update the instance's CreationPolicy to wait for cfn-init to finish before reporting success.

    Parameters

    • init: CloudFormationInit
    • Optionaloptions: ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions

    Returns void

  • Apply the given removal policy to this resource

    The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

    The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

    Parameters

    • policy: RemovalPolicy

    Returns void

  • Returns true if newly-launched instances are protected from scale-in.

    Returns boolean

  • Attach to ELBv2 Application Target Group

    Parameters

    • targetGroup: IApplicationTargetGroup

    Returns LoadBalancerTargetProps

  • Attach to a classic load balancer

    Parameters

    • loadBalancer: LoadBalancer

    Returns void

  • Attach to ELBv2 Application Target Group

    Parameters

    • targetGroup: INetworkTargetGroup

    Returns LoadBalancerTargetProps

  • Returns string

  • Returns an environment-sensitive token that should be used for the resource's "ARN" attribute (e.g. bucket.bucketArn).

    Normally, this token will resolve to arnAttr, but if the resource is referenced across environments, arnComponents will be used to synthesize a concrete ARN with the resource's physical name. Make sure to reference this.physicalName in arnComponents.

    Parameters

    • arnAttr: string

      The CFN attribute which resolves to the ARN of the resource. Commonly it will be called "Arn" (e.g. resource.attrArn), but sometimes it's the CFN resource's ref.

    • arnComponents: ArnComponents

      The format of the ARN of this resource. You must reference this.physicalName somewhere within the ARN in order for cross-environment references to work.

    Returns string

  • Returns an environment-sensitive token that should be used for the resource's "name" attribute (e.g. bucket.bucketName).

    Normally, this token will resolve to nameAttr, but if the resource is referenced across environments, it will be resolved to this.physicalName, which will be a concrete name.

    Parameters

    • nameAttr: string

      The CFN attribute which resolves to the resource's name. Commonly this is the resource's ref.

    Returns string

  • Ensures newly-launched instances are protected from scale-in.

    Returns void

  • Scale out or in to achieve a target CPU utilization

    Parameters

    Returns TargetTrackingScalingPolicy

  • Scale out or in based on time

    Parameters

    • id: string

  • Returns a string representation of an object.

    Returns string

  • Parameters

    • scope: Construct
    • id: string
    • autoScalingGroupName: string

    Returns IAutoScalingGroup

  • Checks if x is a construct.

    Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

    Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

    Parameters

    • x: any

      Any object

    Returns x is Construct

    true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.

  • Returns true if the construct was created by CDK, and false otherwise

    Parameters

    • construct: IConstruct

    Returns boolean

  • Check whether the given construct is a Resource

    Parameters

    • construct: IConstruct

    Returns construct is Resource
