NAME

       as-terminate-instance-in-auto-scaling-group - Terminates a given instance.

SYNOPSIS

        as-terminate-instance-in-auto-scaling-group
            InstanceId  --decrement-desired-capacity/no-decrement-desired-capacity
            [General Options]

DESCRIPTION

           Terminates a given instance. If specified with --decrement-desired-capacity,
        the value of desired capacity        will be reduced by 1 when the instance
        is terminated. If specified with --no-decrement-desired-capacity, the value
        of        desired capacity will not change and Auto Scaling will launch a
        replacement instance.

ARGUMENTS

        InstanceId
           ID of the instance to be terminated. You can also set this value using
           "--instance". Required.

SPECIFIC OPTIONS

        -d, --decrement-desired-capacity, -D, --no-decrement-desired-capacity
           Specify only one of the two flags.  If set, desired capacity is
           decremented by 1 when we terminate this instance.  Otherwise, a new
           instance will be launched to compensate for the termination of this
           instance. Required.

        -f, --force
           Forces the terminate action to go through without prompting. By default,
           the terminate command will prompt.

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
           variable 'EC2_REGION'.

        -S, --secret-key VALUE
           The AWS Secret Key to use.

        --show-empty-fields
           Shows empty fields and rows, using a (nil) value. The default is to not
           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'.

INPUT EXAMPLES

        Terminates instance 'i-2' but does not decrement the group size.

        $PROMPT> as-terminate-instance-in-auto-scaling-group i-2 --no-decrement-desired-capacity
