Usage

module "asg" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/autoscaling/aws"
  version = "~> 3.0"
  
  name = "service"

  # Launch configuration
  lc_name = "example-lc"

  image_id        = "ami-ebd02392"
  instance_type   = "t2.micro"
  security_groups = ["sg-12345678"]

  ebs_block_device = [
    {
      device_name           = "/dev/xvdz"
      volume_type           = "gp2"
      volume_size           = "50"
      delete_on_termination = true
    },
  ]

  root_block_device = [
    {
      volume_size = "50"
      volume_type = "gp2"
    },
  ]

  # Auto scaling group
  asg_name                  = "example-asg"
  vpc_zone_identifier       = ["subnet-1235678", "subnet-87654321"]
  health_check_type         = "EC2"
  min_size                  = 0
  max_size                  = 1
  desired_capacity          = 1
  wait_for_capacity_timeout = 0

  tags = [
    {
      key                 = "Environment"
      value               = "dev"
      propagate_at_launch = true
    },
    {
      key                 = "Project"
      value               = "megasecret"
      propagate_at_launch = true
    },
  ]

    extra_tag1 = "extra_value1"
    extra_tag2 = "extra_value2"
  }
}

Conditional creation

Normally this module creates both Auto Scaling Group (ASG) and Launch Configuration (LC), and connect them together. It is possible to customize this behaviour passing different parameters to this module:

To create ASG, but not LC. Associate ASG with an existing LC:

create_lc = false
launch_configuration = "existing-launch-configuration"

To create LC, but not ASG. Outputs may produce errors.

create_asg = false

To create ASG with initial lifecycle hook

create_asg_with_initial_lifecycle_hook = true

initial_lifecycle_hook_name                  = "NameOfLifeCycleHook"
initial_lifecycle_hook_lifecycle_transition  = "autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_TERMINATING"
initial_lifecycle_hook_notification_metadata =<<EOF
{
  "foo": "bar"
}
EOF

To disable creation of both resources (LC and ASG) you can specify both arguments create_lc = false and create_asg = false. Sometimes you need to use this way to create resources in modules conditionally but Terraform does not allow to use count inside module block.

force_delete	Allows deleting the autoscaling group without waiting for all instances in the pool to terminate. You can force an autoscaling group to delete even if it's in the process of scaling a resource. Normally, Terraform drains all the instances before deleting the group.

metrics_granularity	The granularity to associate with the metrics to collect. The only valid value is 1Minute	`string`	`"1Minute"`	no
min_elb_capacity	Setting this causes Terraform to wait for this number of instances to show up healthy in the ELB only on creation. Updates will not wait on ELB instance number changes	`number`	`0`	no
min_size	The minimum size of the auto scale group	`string`	n/a	yes

placement_tenancy	The tenancy of the instance. Valid values are 'default' or 'dedicated'	`string`	`"default"`	no
protect_from_scale_in	Allows setting instance protection. The autoscaling group will not select instances with this setting for termination during scale in events.	`bool`	`false`	no
