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-1' and decrements group size.

        $PROMPT>        as-terminate-instance-in-auto-scaling-group        i-1
       --decrement-desired-capacity

        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

OUTPUT

        This command returns a table that contains the following:
        * ACTIVITY-ID - Id of the scaling activity.
        * UPDATED-TIME - Last update time of this activity's status.
        * CODE - Status code of the activity.
        * CAUSE - Activity cause.
        *  MESSAGE  -  Message  associated  with  the acitivity's latest event

        * PROGRESS - Progress rate of the activity (long). This column appears
       only
        in the --show-long view.
        *  DESCRIPTION - Activity description (long). This column appears only
       in the
