# createAutoScalingGroup

Available in VPC

Create an Auto Scaling Group.

## Syntax

The `createAutoScalingGroup` syntax is as follows:

```
./ncloud vautoscaling createAutoScalingGroup \
    --vpcNo <vpc-no> \
    --subnetNo <subnet-no> \
    --accessControlGroupNoList <acg-no-list> \
    --launchConfigurationNo <launch-configuration-no> \
    --minSize <min-size> \
    --maxSize <max-size> \
    [--desiredCapacity <desired-capacity>] \
    [--autoScalingGroupName <auto-scaling-group-name>] \
    [--serverNamePrefix <server-name-prefix>] \
    [--defaultCoolDown <default-cooldown>] \
    [--healthCheckTypeCode <SVR|LOADB>] \
    [--healthCheckGracePeriod <grace-period>] \
    [--targetGroupNoList <target-group-no-list>] \
    [--regionCode <KR|SGN|JPN>] \
    [--output <json|xml>]
```

## Options

This section describes the options available when running `createAutoScalingGroup`.

### Required options

The following options are required for `createAutoScalingGroup`.

| Options | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--vpcNo` | String | Required | VPC number - See [getVpcList](/docs/en/cli-vpc-vpcmanagement-getvpclist). |
| `--subnetNo` | String | Required | Subnet number - See [getSubnetList](/docs/en/cli-vpc-subnetmanagement-getsubnetlist). |
| `--accessControlGroupNoList` | List | Required | ACG number list - Applies to servers created during scale-out. - You can enter 1 to 3 numbers. - You can enter multiple items separated by spaces (e.g., `--accessControlGroupNoList 1234 2345`). - See [getAccessControlGroupList](/docs/en/cli-vserver-acg-getaccesscontrolgrouplist). |
| `--launchConfigurationNo` | String | Required | Launch configuration number - Specifies the launch configuration to apply during scale-out. - See [getLaunchConfigurationList](/docs/en/cli-vautoscaling-launchconfiguration-getlaunchconfigurationlist). |
| `--minSize` | Integer | Required | Minimum number of servers in the Auto Scaling Group - `0`-`30` - Set to a value less than equal to `maxSize`. - Enter `0` if you do not want to retain any servers. |
| `--maxSize` | Integer | Required | Maximum number of servers in the Auto Scaling Group - `0`-`30` - Set to a value greater than or equal to `minSize`. |
| `--healthCheckGracePeriod` | Integer | Conditional | Health check grace period (second) - The time period during which the server is not considered abnormal even if it fails a health check, taking into account initial server startup. - `0`-`2147483647` (default: `300`) - Required if `healthCheckTypeCode` is `LOADB`. |

### Optional options

These are the optional options for `createAutoScalingGroup`. Options that are not specified will use their default values.

| Options | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--desiredCapacity` | Integer | Optional | Expected number of servers in the Auto Scaling Group - Set to a value between `minSize` and `maxSize` (default: `minSize`). - Automatically adjusts the number of servers based on the input value. |
| `--autoScalingGroupName` | String | Optional | Auto Scaling Group name - Enter 1-255 characters, including lowercase English letters, numbers, and special character `-`. - The string must begin with an English letter and end with an English letter or number. - Auto-generated on no input. |
| `--serverNamePrefix` | String | Optional | Server name prefix - `s` (default) - Enter 3-7 characters, including lowercase English letters, numbers, and special character `-`. - The string must begin with an English letter and end with an English letter or number. - Server name rule is {Prefix}-{English letter\|number}, with everything but the prefix generated automatically. |
| `--defaultCoolDown` | Integer | Optional | Default cooldown (second) - `0`-`2147483647` (default: `300`) - Monitoring wait time for server readiness after scaling |
| `--healthCheckTypeCode` | String | Optional | Health check type code - `SVR` (default) \| `LOADB` - `SVR`: Server - `LOADB`: Load balancer - For `LOADB`, `healthCheckGracePeriod` is required. |
| `--targetGroupNoList` | List | Optional | Target group number list - Valid only when `healthCheckTypeCode` is `LOADB`. - Determines server status based on each group’s health check method and criteria. - Multiple entries can be entered, separated by spaces (e.g., `--targetGroupNoList 1234 2345`). - See [getTargetGroupList](/docs/en/cli-vloadbalancer-targetgroup-gettargetgrouplist). |

### Common options

For information on options commonly used in the `vautoscaling` command, see [Auto Scaling (VPC) options](/docs/en/cli-vautoscaling#%EC%98%B5%EC%85%98).

## Examples

If the request to create an Auto Scaling Group is successful, the Auto Scaling Group's configuration information and creation status are returned.

### Command

The command example is as follows:

```
./ncloud vautoscaling createAutoScalingGroup \
    --vpcNo 12345678 \
    --subnetNo 23456789 \
    --accessControlGroupNoList 67890123 \
    --launchConfigurationNo 18305791 \
    --minSize 0 \
    --maxSize 0 \
    --desiredCapacity 0 \
    --autoScalingGroupName asg-01 \
    --serverNamePrefix test \
    --defaultCoolDown 300 \
    --healthCheckTypeCode SVR \
    --regionCode KR \
    --output json
```
