name : create-scaling-plan.rst **To create a scaling plan** The following ``create-scaling-plan`` example creates a scaling plan named ``my-scaling-plan`` using an already-created JSON file (named config.json). The structure of the scaling plan includes a scaling instruction for an Auto Scaling group named ``my-asg``. It specifies the ``TagFilters`` property as the application source and enables predictive scaling and dynamic scaling. :: aws autoscaling-plans create-scaling-plan \ --scaling-plan-name my-scaling-plan \ --cli-input-json file://~/config.json Contents of ``config.json`` file:: { "ApplicationSource": { "TagFilters": [ { "Key": "purpose", "Values": [ "my-application" ] } ] }, "ScalingInstructions": [ { "ServiceNamespace": "autoscaling", "ResourceId": "autoScalingGroup/my-asg", "ScalableDimension": "autoscaling:autoScalingGroup:DesiredCapacity", "ScheduledActionBufferTime": 300, "PredictiveScalingMaxCapacityBehavior": "SetForecastCapacityToMaxCapacity", "PredictiveScalingMode": "ForecastAndScale", "PredefinedLoadMetricSpecification": { "PredefinedLoadMetricType": "ASGTotalCPUUtilization" }, "ScalingPolicyUpdateBehavior": "ReplaceExternalPolicies", "MinCapacity": 1, "MaxCapacity": 4, "TargetTrackingConfigurations": [ { "PredefinedScalingMetricSpecification": { "PredefinedScalingMetricType": "ASGAverageCPUUtilization" }, "TargetValue": 50 } ] } ] } Output:: { "ScalingPlanVersion": 1 } For more information, see the `AWS Auto Scaling User Guide <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/plans/userguide/what-is-aws-auto-scaling.html>`__.
