A Fleet represents a managed set of EC2 instances. The Fleet models a number of AutoScalingGroups, a launch configuration, a security group and an instance role. It allows adding arbitrary commands to the startup scripts of the instances in the fleet. The ASG spans the availability zones specified by vpcSubnets, falling back to the Vpc default strategy if not specified.
import { AutoScalingGroup } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-autoscaling';Or use the module namespace:
import * as autoscaling from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-autoscaling';
// autoscaling.AutoScalingGroupConfiguration passed to the constructor as AutoScalingGroupProps.
vpcRequiredIVpcVPC to launch these instances in.

maxHealthyPercentageOptionalnumberSpecifies the upper threshold as a percentage of the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group. It represents the maximum percentage of the group that can be in service and healthy, or pending, to support your workload when replacing instances. Value range is 0 to 100. After it's set, both `minHealthyPercentage` and `maxHealthyPercentage` to -1 will clear the previously set value. Both or neither of `minHealthyPercentage` and `maxHealthyPercentage` must be specified, and the difference between them cannot be greater than 100. A large range increases the number of instances that can be replaced at the same time.
Default: - No instance maintenance policy.
migrateToLaunchTemplateOptionalbooleanWhether safety guardrail should be enforced when migrating to the launch template.
Default: false
minHealthyPercentageOptionalnumberSpecifies the lower threshold as a percentage of the desired capacity of the Auto Scaling group. It represents the minimum percentage of the group to keep in service, healthy, and ready to use to support your workload when replacing instances. Value range is 0 to 100. After it's set, both `minHealthyPercentage` and `maxHealthyPercentage` to -1 will clear the previously set value. Both or neither of `minHealthyPercentage` and `maxHealthyPercentage` must be specified, and the difference between them cannot be greater than 100. A large range increases the number of instances that can be replaced at the same time.
Default: - No instance maintenance policy.

Default: - Do not provide any MixedInstancesPolicy
requireImdsv2OptionalbooleanWhether IMDSv2 should be required on launched instances.
Default: false
roleOptionalIRoleAn IAM role to associate with the instance profile assigned to this Auto Scaling Group. The role must be assumable by the service principal `ec2.amazonaws.com`: `launchTemplate` and `mixedInstancesPolicy` must not be specified when this property is specified
Default: A role will automatically be created, it can be accessed via the `role` property
securityGroupOptionalISecurityGroupSecurity group to launch the instances in. `launchTemplate` and `mixedInstancesPolicy` must not be specified when this property is specified
Default: - A SecurityGroup will be created if none is specified.
userDataOptionalUserDataSpecific UserData to use. The UserData may still be mutated after creation. `launchTemplate` and `mixedInstancesPolicy` must not be specified when this property is specified
Default: - A UserData object appropriate for the MachineImage's
Operating System is created.
CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsallowAllOutboundOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsbooleanWhether the instances can initiate connections to anywhere by default.
Default: true
associatePublicIpAddressOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsbooleanWhether instances in the Auto Scaling Group should have public IP addresses associated with them. `launchTemplate` and `mixedInstancesPolicy` must not be specified when this property is specified
Default: - Use subnet setting.
autoScalingGroupNameOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsstringThe name of the Auto Scaling group. This name must be unique per Region per account.
Default: - Auto generated by CloudFormation
azCapacityDistributionStrategyOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsCapacityDistributionStrategyThe strategy for distributing instances across Availability Zones.
Default: None
blockDevicesOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsBlockDevice[]Specifies how block devices are exposed to the instance. You can specify virtual devices and EBS volumes. Each instance that is launched has an associated root device volume, either an Amazon EBS volume or an instance store volume. You can use block device mappings to specify additional EBS volumes or instance store volumes to attach to an instance when it is launched. `launchTemplate` and `mixedInstancesPolicy` must not be specified when this property is specified
Default: - Uses the block device mapping of the AMI
capacityRebalanceOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsbooleanIndicates whether Capacity Rebalancing is enabled. When you turn on Capacity Rebalancing, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling attempts to launch a Spot Instance whenever Amazon EC2 notifies that a Spot Instance is at an elevated risk of interruption. After launching a new instance, it then terminates an old instance.
Default: false
cooldownOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsDurationDefault scaling cooldown for this AutoScalingGroup.
Default: Duration.minutes(5)
defaultInstanceWarmupOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsDurationThe amount of time, in seconds, until a newly launched instance can contribute to the Amazon CloudWatch metrics. This delay lets an instance finish initializing before Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling aggregates instance metrics, resulting in more reliable usage data. Set this value equal to the amount of time that it takes for resource consumption to become stable after an instance reaches the InService state. To optimize the performance of scaling policies that scale continuously, such as target tracking and step scaling policies, we strongly recommend that you enable the default instance warmup, even if its value is set to 0 seconds Default instance warmup will not be added if no value is specified
Default: None
deletionProtectionOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsDeletionProtectionDeletion protection for the Auto Scaling group.
Default: DeletionProtection.NONE
desiredCapacityOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsnumberInitial amount of instances in the fleet. If this is set to a number, every deployment will reset the amount of instances to this number. It is recommended to leave this value blank.
Default: minCapacity, and leave unchanged during deployment
groupMetricsOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsGroupMetrics[]Enable monitoring for group metrics, these metrics describe the group rather than any of its instances. To report all group metrics use `GroupMetrics.all()` Group metrics are reported in a granularity of 1 minute at no additional charge.
Default: - no group metrics will be reported
healthCheckOptionalDeprecatedinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsHealthCheckConfiguration for health checks.
Default: - HealthCheck.ec2 with no grace period
Deprecated: Use `healthChecks` instead
healthChecksOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsHealthChecksConfiguration for EC2 or additional health checks. Even when using `HealthChecks.withAdditionalChecks()`, the EC2 type is implicitly included.
Default: - EC2 type with no grace period
ignoreUnmodifiedSizePropertiesOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsbooleanIf the ASG has scheduled actions, don't reset unchanged group sizes. Only used if the ASG has scheduled actions (which may scale your ASG up or down regardless of cdk deployments). If true, the size of the group will only be reset if it has been changed in the CDK app. If false, the sizes will always be changed back to what they were in the CDK app on deployment.
Default: true
instanceLifecyclePolicyOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsInstanceLifecyclePolicyAn instance lifecycle policy that defines how instances should be handled during lifecycle events, particularly when lifecycle hooks are abandoned or fail.
Default: None
instanceMonitoringOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsMonitoringControls whether instances in this group are launched with detailed or basic monitoring. When detailed monitoring is enabled, Amazon CloudWatch generates metrics every minute and your account is charged a fee. When you disable detailed monitoring, CloudWatch generates metrics every 5 minutes. `launchTemplate` and `mixedInstancesPolicy` must not be specified when this property is specified
Default: - Monitoring.DETAILED
keyNameOptionalDeprecatedinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsstringName of SSH keypair to grant access to instances. `launchTemplate` and `mixedInstancesPolicy` must not be specified when this property is specified You can either specify `keyPair` or `keyName`, not both.
Default: - No SSH access will be possible.
Deprecated: - Use `keyPair` instead - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ec2-readme.html#using-an-existing-ec2-key-pair
keyPairOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsIKeyPairThe SSH keypair to grant access to the instance. Feature flag `AUTOSCALING_GENERATE_LAUNCH_TEMPLATE` must be enabled to use this property. `launchTemplate` and `mixedInstancesPolicy` must not be specified when this property is specified. You can either specify `keyPair` or `keyName`, not both.
Default: - No SSH access will be possible.
maxCapacityOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsnumberMaximum number of instances in the fleet.
Default: desiredCapacity
maxInstanceLifetimeOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsDurationThe maximum amount of time that an instance can be in service. The maximum duration applies to all current and future instances in the group. As an instance approaches its maximum duration, it is terminated and replaced, and cannot be used again. You must specify a value of at least 86,400 seconds (one day). To clear a previously set value, leave this property undefined.
Default: none
minCapacityOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsnumberMinimum number of instances in the fleet.
Default: 1
newInstancesProtectedFromScaleInOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsbooleanWhether newly-launched instances are protected from termination by Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling when scaling in. By default, Auto Scaling can terminate an instance at any time after launch when scaling in an Auto Scaling Group, subject to the group's termination policy. However, you may wish to protect newly-launched instances from being scaled in if they are going to run critical applications that should not be prematurely terminated. This flag must be enabled if the Auto Scaling Group will be associated with an ECS Capacity Provider with managed termination protection.
Default: false
notificationsOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsNotificationConfiguration[]Configure autoscaling group to send notifications about fleet changes to an SNS topic(s).
Default: - No fleet change notifications will be sent.
signalsOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsSignalsConfigure waiting for signals during deployment. Use this to pause the CloudFormation deployment to wait for the instances in the AutoScalingGroup to report successful startup during creation and updates. The UserData script needs to invoke `cfn-signal` with a success or failure code after it is done setting up the instance. Without waiting for signals, the CloudFormation deployment will proceed as soon as the AutoScalingGroup has been created or updated but before the instances in the group have been started. For example, to have instances wait for an Elastic Load Balancing health check before they signal success, add a health-check verification by using the cfn-init helper script. For an example, see the verify_instance_health command in the Auto Scaling rolling updates sample template: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cloudformation-templates/blob/master/aws/services/AutoScaling/AutoScalingRollingUpdates.yaml
Default: - Do not wait for signals
spotPriceOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsstringThe maximum hourly price (in USD) to be paid for any Spot Instance launched to fulfill the request. Spot Instances are launched when the price you specify exceeds the current Spot market price. `launchTemplate` and `mixedInstancesPolicy` must not be specified when this property is specified
Default: none
ssmSessionPermissionsOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsbooleanAdd SSM session permissions to the instance role. Setting this to `true` adds the necessary permissions to connect to the instance using SSM Session Manager. You can do this from the AWS Console. NOTE: Setting this flag to `true` may not be enough by itself. You must also use an AMI that comes with the SSM Agent, or install the SSM Agent yourself. See [Working with SSM Agent](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/ssm-agent.html) in the SSM Developer Guide.
Default: false
terminationPoliciesOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsTerminationPolicy[]A policy or a list of policies that are used to select the instances to terminate. The policies are executed in the order that you list them.
Default: - `TerminationPolicy.DEFAULT`
terminationPolicyCustomLambdaFunctionArnOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsstringA lambda function Arn that can be used as a custom termination policy to select the instances to terminate. This property must be specified if the TerminationPolicy.CUSTOM_LAMBDA_FUNCTION is used.
Default: - No lambda function Arn will be supplied
updatePolicyOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsUpdatePolicyWhat to do when an AutoScalingGroup's instance configuration is changed. This is applied when any of the settings on the ASG are changed that affect how the instances should be created (VPC, instance type, startup scripts, etc.). It indicates how the existing instances should be replaced with new instances matching the new config. By default, nothing is done and only new instances are launched with the new config.
Default: - `UpdatePolicy.rollingUpdate()` if using `init`, `UpdatePolicy.none()` otherwise
vpcSubnetsOptionalinherited from CommonAutoScalingGroupPropsSubnetSelectionWhere to place instances within the VPC.
Default: - All Private subnets.
