StepScalingAction
Define a step scaling action. This kind of scaling policy adjusts the target capacity in configurable steps. The size of the step is configurable based on the metric's distance to its alarm threshold. This Action must be used as the target of a CloudWatch alarm to take effect.
Import
import { StepScalingAction } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-applicationautoscaling';Or use the module namespace:
import * as applicationautoscaling from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-applicationautoscaling';
// applicationautoscaling.StepScalingActionProperties
Configuration passed to the constructor as StepScalingActionProps.

Default: No cooldown period
metricAggregationTypeOptionalMetricAggregationTypeThe aggregation type for the CloudWatch metrics.
Default: Average
minAdjustmentMagnitudeOptionalnumberMinimum absolute number to adjust capacity with as result of percentage scaling. Only when using AdjustmentType = PercentChangeInCapacity, this number controls the minimum absolute effect size.
Default: No minimum scaling effect
