To scale out the number of Amazon EC2 instances in the Auto Scaling group (CLI)

  1. Call the update-auto-scaling-group command to increase the Amazon EC2 instances in the Auto Scaling group namedCodeDeployDemo-AS-Group from one to two.
    On local Linux, macOS, or Unix machines:
aws autoscaling update-auto-scaling-group \  
  --auto-scaling-group-name CodeDeployDemo-AS-Group \  
  --min-size 2 \  
  --max-size 2 \  
  --desired-capacity 2

On local Windows machines: 

aws autoscaling update-auto-scaling-group --auto-scaling-group-name CodeDeployDemo-AS-Group --min-size 2 --max-size 2 --desired-capacity 2
  1. Make sure the Auto Scaling group now has two Amazon EC2 instances. Call thedescribe-auto-scaling-groups command againstCodeDeployDemo-AS-Group:
aws autoscaling describe-auto-scaling-groups --auto-scaling-group-names CodeDeployDemo-AS-Group --query "AutoScalingGroups[0].Instances[*].[HealthStatus, LifecycleState]" --output text

Do not proceed until both of the returned values show Healthy and InService.

To scale out the number of Amazon EC2 instances in the deployment group (console)

  1. In the Amazon EC2 navigation bar, under Auto Scaling, chooseAuto Scaling Groups, and then chooseCodeDeployDemo-AS-Group.
  2. Choose Actions, and then chooseEdit.
  3. On the Details tab, in theDesired, Min, andMax boxes, type 2, and then choose Save.
  4. Choose the Instances tab. The new Amazon EC2 instance should appear in the list. (If the instance does not appear, you may need to choose the Refresh button a few times.) Do not proceed until the value of InService appears in theLifecycle column and the value ofHealthy appears in the Health Status column.
