Creating SimpleScaling Autoscaling policy for ASG failed

[vishwa-trulioo]

Description

I wanted to create an ASG with SimpleScaling policy. I used the example provided in module with only changing scaling polilcy to the following,

scaling_policies = {
  cpu-util-simple-up = {
    policy_type              = "SimpleScaling"
    adjustment_type          = "ChangeInCapacity"
    cooldown                 = 300
    min_adjustment_magnitude = 1
  },
}

Versions

• Terraform: 1.1.5
• Provider(s): 4.1.1
• Module: terraform-aws-autoscaling version 5.1.1

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Code Snippet to Reproduce

Expected behavior

Create an Autoscaling policy of type "Simple scaling" without failing.

Actual behavior

Terminal Output Screenshot(s)

module.asg.aws_autoscaling_policy.this["cpu-util-simple-up"]: Creating...
╷

Additional context

Terraform is looking for scaling_adjustment to be set. I can also see that it's available in the Docs autoscaling_policy. But, this module does not offer setting it. If I'm doing it wring, please tell me how to define the scaling policy variable appropriately.

Can you provide me an example how the scaling policy variable should look like? Is it like this,

  cpu-util-simple-up = {
    policy_type             = "SimpleScaling"
    adjustment_type         = "ChangeInCapacity"
    cooldown                = 300
    metric_aggregation_type = "Average"
    step_adjustment = {
      scale-up = {
        scaling_adjustment = 1
      }
    }

@vishwa-trulioo I think it should look like this

cpu-util-simple-up = {
  policy_type             = "SimpleScaling"
  adjustment_type         = "ChangeInCapacity"
  cooldown                = 300
  metric_aggregation_type = "Average"
  step_adjustment = {
    scaling_adjustment = 1
  }
}
