DESCRIPTION

           Creates a new Auto Scaling group with a specified name and other attributes.

ARGUMENTS

        AutoScalingGroupName
           User-supplied Auto Scaling group identifier which will uniquely identify
           the Auto Scaling group. You can also set this value using
           "--auto-scaling-group". Required.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS

        --default-cooldown VALUE
           Time (in seconds) between a successful scaling activity and succeeding
           scaling activity.

        --desired-capacity VALUE
           Capacity setting for the group (minimum-size <= desired-capacity <=
           maximum-size).

        --grace-period VALUE
           The period after an instance is launched. During this period, any health
           check failure of that instance is ignored.

        --health-check-type VALUE
           Type of health check for instances of this group.

        -l, --launch-configuration VALUE
           Name of existing launch configuration to use to launch new instances.
           Required.

        --load-balancers VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
           List of existing load balancers. Load balancers must exist in Elastic
           Load Balancing service within the scope of the caller's AWS account.

        -m, --min-size VALUE
           Minimum group size (0 <= minimum-size <= maximum-size). Required.

        -M, --max-size VALUE
           Maximum group size (minimum-size <= maximum-size < 10000). Required.

        --placement-group VALUE
           Name of an existing placement group into which you want to launch your
           instances.

        --tag   "k=value,   [id=value],   [t=value],  [v=value],  [p=value]"  [  --tag  "k=value,
       [id=value], [t=value], [v=value], [p=value]" ...]
           The tags to be created. Each tag should follow this format:
           "id=resource-name, t=resource-type, k=tag-key, v=tag-val,
           p=propagate-at-launch flag". NOTE: id is ResourceId, t is ResourceType, k
           is TagKey, v is TagValue, p is PropagateAtLaunch.

        --vpc-zone-identifier VALUE
           The Amazon VPC into which you want to launch your instance.

        -z, --availability-zones VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3...
           Availability zones in which new instances will be launched. At least one
           zone must be specified. Required.

GENERAL OPTIONS

        --aws-credential-file VALUE
           Location of the file with your AWS credentials. This value can be set by
           using the environment variable 'AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE'.

        -C, --ec2-cert-file-path VALUE
           Path to the file holding the X.509 certificate. This value can be set by
           using the environment variable 'EC2_CERT'.

        --connection-timeout VALUE
           Connection timeout (in seconds). The default value is '30'.

        --delimiter VALUE
           The delimiter to use when displaying delimited (long) results.

        -H, --headers
           For displaying tabular or delimited results, it includes the column
           headers. For displaying XML results, it returns the HTTP headers from the
           service request, if applicable. This is off by default.

        -I, --access-key-id VALUE
           The AWS access ID to use.

        -K, --ec2-private-key-file-path VALUE
           Path to the file holding the X.509 private key. This value can be set by
           using the environment variable 'EC2_PRIVATE_KEY'.

        --region VALUE
           Amazon EC2 region to use. This value can be set by using the environment

           show empty fields or columns.

        --show-request
           Displays the URL the tools used to call the AWS Service. The default
           value is 'false'.

        --show-table, --show-long, --show-xml, --quiet
           The way in which the results are displayed: tabular, delimited (long),
           XML or no output (quiet). Tabular shows a subset of the data in fixed
           column-width form, while long shows all of the returned values delimited
           by a character, XML is the raw return from the service and quiet
           suppresses all standard output. The default is tabular, or 'show-table'.

        -U, --url VALUE
           This option will override the URL for the service call with VALUE. This
           value can be set by using the environment variable
           'AWS_AUTO_SCALING_URL'.
