AWS Composite Alarm - Auto scaling action

0
votes

I have created two Alarms to scale up my instance count,

  1. Cpu Utilization > 20
  2. Target Response Time > 10

Then I have created a Composite alarm to go to ALARM state if Alarm 1 or 2 Triggered. Now I want to remove the above-mentioned Alarms from Scaling policies and use the composite alarm for Auto Scaling. Is it possible? If so, how can we do it?

It seems that Composite alarms cannot be used in Autoscaling Policies.

As Milan has already mentioned, composite alarms cannot be used in autoscaling policies. However, you can make a conditional alarm (if cpu>20 || target response >10) for 'n' minutes, go in alarm state. This way you can use this alarm in your autoscaling policy.
