Awesome

Terraform module to provision Auto Scaling Group and Launch Template on AWS.

The module also creates AutoScaling Policies and CloudWatch Metric Alarms to monitor CPU utilization on the EC2 instances and scale the number of instance in the AutoScaling Group up or down. If you don't want to use the provided functionality, or want to provide your own policies, disable it by setting the variable autoscaling_policies_enabled to false.

At present, although you can set the created AutoScaling Policy type to any legal value, in practice only SimpleScaling is supported. To use a StepScaling or TargetTrackingScaling policy, create it yourself and then pass it in the alarm_actions field of custom_alarms.

[!TIP]

👽 Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform. Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

To enable custom_alerts the map needs to be defined like so :

alarms = {
    alb_scale_up = {
      alarm_name                = "${module.default_label.id}-alb-target-response-time-for-scale-up"

      evaluation_periods        = var.alb_target_group_alarms_evaluation_periods
      metric_name               = "TargetResponseTime"
      namespace                 = "AWS/ApplicationELB"
      period                    = var.alb_target_group_alarms_period
      statistic                 = "Average"
      threshold                 = var.alb_target_group_alarms_response_time_max_threshold
      dimensions_name           = "LoadBalancer"
      dimensions_target         = data.alb.arn_suffix
      treat_missing_data        = "missing"
      ok_actions                = var.alb_target_group_alarms_ok_actions
      insufficient_data_actions = var.alb_target_group_alarms_insufficient_data_actions
      alarm_description         = "ALB Target response time is over ${var.alb_target_group_alarms_response_time_max_threshold} for more than ${var.alb_target_group_alarms_period}"
      alarm_actions             = [module.autoscaling.scale_up_policy_arn]
    }
}

All those keys are required to be there so if the alarm you are setting does not requiere one or more keys you can just set to empty but do not remove the keys otherwise you could get a weird merge error due to the maps being of different sizes.

[!IMPORTANT] In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.
