Creating a Lifecycle Hook¶

Function¶

This interface is used to create a lifecycle hook for an AS group. Up to five lifecycle hooks can be created for one AS group.

After the creation, when the AS group is resized, the lifecycle hook suspends the involved instance and puts it to a Wait (Adding to AS group) or Wait (Removing from AS group) status. This status is retained until the timeout duration ends or you manually perform a callback.
During the instance waiting duration, you can perform customized operations. For example, you can install or configure software on a newly started instance, or download the log file from the instance before the instance terminates.

URI¶

POST /autoscaling-api/v1/{project_id}/scaling_lifecycle_hook/{scaling_group_id}

**Table 1** Parameter description¶
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Specifies the project ID.
scaling_group_id	Yes	String	Specifies the AS group ID.

Request¶

**Table 2** Request parameters¶
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
lifecycle_hook_name	Yes	String	Specifies the lifecycle hook name. The name contains only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-), and cannot exceed 32 characters.
lifecycle_hook_type	Yes	String	Specifies the lifecycle hook type. Options: INSTANCE_TERMINATING: The hook suspends the instance when the instance is terminated. INSTANCE_LAUNCHING: The hook suspends the instance when the instance is started.
default_result	No	String	Specifies the default lifecycle hook callback operation. By default, this operation is performed when the timeout duration expires. ABANDON CONTINUE Note If an instance is starting, CONTINUE indicates that your customized operations are successful and the instance can be used. ABANDON indicates that your customized operations failed, and the instance will be terminated. In such a case, the scaling action fails, and you must create a new instance. If an instance is stopping, both ABANDON and CONTINUE allow instance termination. The difference between the two states is as follows: ABANDON stops other lifecycle hooks, but CONTINUE allows the completion of other lifecycle hooks. The default value of this parameter is ABANDON.
default_timeout	No	Integer	Specifies the lifecycle hook timeout duration, which ranges from 60 to 86400 in the unit of second. The default value is 3600. By default, this parameter specifies the instance waiting duration. You can prolong the timeout duration or perform the CONTINUE or ABANDON operation before the timeout duration expires.
notification_topic_urn	Yes	String	Specifies a unique topic in SMN. This parameter specifies a notification object for a lifecycle hook. When an instance is suspended by the lifecycle hook, the SMN service sends a notification to the object. This notification contains the basic instance information, your customized notification content, and the token for controlling lifecycle operations.
notification_metadata	No	String	Specifies a customized notification, which contains no more than 256 characters in length. The message cannot contain the following characters: <>&'() After a notification object is configured, the SMN service sends your customized notification to the object.

Example Request¶

This example creates the lifecycle hook named test-hook1 in the AS group with ID e5d27f5c-dd76-4a61-b4bc-a67c5686719a. The configuration is as follows: The callback operation is ABANDON, the timeout duration is 3600 seconds; the notification topic_urn is urn:smn:regionId:b53e5554fad0494d96206fb84296510b:gsh, the hook suspends the instance when the instance is started.
