Path ParametersExpand Collapse

autoscale_pool_id: string

ReturnsExpand Collapse

autoscale_pool: optional AutoscalePool { id, active_resources_count, config, 6 more }

id: string

A unique identifier for each autoscale pool instance. This is automatically generated upon autoscale pool creation.

active_resources_count: number

The number of active Droplets in the autoscale pool.

config: AutoscalePoolStaticConfig { target_number_instances } or AutoscalePoolDynamicConfig { max_instances, min_instances, cooldown_minutes, 2 more }

Accepts one of the following:

AutoscalePoolStaticConfig = object { target_number_instances }

target_number_instances: number

Fixed number of instances in an autoscale pool.

minimum1

maximum1000

AutoscalePoolDynamicConfig = object { max_instances, min_instances, cooldown_minutes, 2 more }

max_instances: number

The maximum number of Droplets in an autoscale pool.

minimum1

maximum1000

min_instances: number

The minimum number of Droplets in an autoscale pool.

minimum1

maximum500

cooldown_minutes: optional number

The number of minutes to wait between scaling events in an autoscale pool. Defaults to 10 minutes.

minimum5

maximum20

target_cpu_utilization: optional number

Target CPU utilization as a decimal.

maximum1

target_memory_utilization: optional number

Target memory utilization as a decimal.

formatfloat

minimum0.05

maximum1

created_at: string

A time value given in ISO8601 combined date and time format that represents when the autoscale pool was created.

formatdate-time

droplet_template: AutoscalePoolDropletTemplate { image, region, size, 8 more }

image: string

The Droplet image to be used for all Droplets in the autoscale pool. You may specify the slug or the image ID.

region: "nyc1" or "nyc2" or "nyc3" or 11 more

The datacenter in which all of the Droplets will be created.

Accepts one of the following:

"nyc1"

"nyc2"

"nyc3"

"ams2"

"ams3"

"sfo1"

"sfo2"

"sfo3"

"sgp1"

"lon1"

"fra1"

"tor1"

"blr1"

"syd1"

size: string

The Droplet size to be used for all Droplets in the autoscale pool.

ssh_keys: array of string

The SSH keys to be installed on the Droplets in the autoscale pool. You can either specify the key ID or the fingerprint. Requires ssh_key:read scope.

ipv6: optional boolean

Assigns a unique IPv6 address to each of the Droplets in the autoscale pool.

name: optional string

The name(s) to be applied to all Droplets in the autoscale pool.

project_id: optional string

The project that the Droplets in the autoscale pool will belong to. Requires project:read scope.

tags: optional array of string

The tags to apply to each of the Droplets in the autoscale pool. Requires tag:read scope.

user_data: optional string

A string containing user data that cloud-init consumes to configure a Droplet on first boot. User data is often a cloud-config file or Bash script. It must be plain text and may not exceed 64 KiB in size.

vpc_uuid: optional string

The VPC where the Droplets in the autoscale pool will be created. The VPC must be in the region where you want to create the Droplets. Requires vpc:read scope.

with_droplet_agent: optional boolean

Installs the Droplet agent. This must be set to true to monitor Droplets for resource utilization scaling.

name: string

The human-readable name set for the autoscale pool.

status: "active" or "deleting" or "error"

The current status of the autoscale pool.

Accepts one of the following:

"active"

"deleting"

"error"

updated_at: string

A time value given in ISO8601 combined date and time format that represents when the autoscale pool was last updated.

formatdate-time

current_utilization: optional CurrentUtilization { cpu, memory }

cpu: optional number

The average CPU utilization of the autoscale pool.

formatfloat

minimum0

maximum1

memory: optional number

The average memory utilization of the autoscale pool.

formatfloat

minimum0
