aws autoscaling terminate-instance-in-auto-scaling-group

Terminates the specified instance and optionally adjusts the desired group size. This operation cannot be called on instances in a warm pool. This call simply makes a termination request. The instance is not terminated immediately. When an instance is terminated, the instance status changes to terminated. You can't connect to or start an instance after you've terminated it. If you do not specify the option to decrement the desired capacity, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches instances to replace the ones that are terminated. By default, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling balances instances across all Availability Zones. If you decrement the desired capacity, your Auto Scaling group can become unbalanced between Availability Zones. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling tries to rebalance the group, and rebalancing might terminate instances in other zones. For more information, see Rebalancing activities in the Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling User Guide

Options

NameDescription
--instance-id <string>The ID of the instance
--should-decrement-desired-capacityIndicates whether terminating the instance also decrements the size of the Auto Scaling group
--no-should-decrement-desired-capacityIndicates whether terminating the instance also decrements the size of the Auto Scaling group
--cli-input-json <string>Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally
--generate-cli-skeleton <string>Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command
