Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now supports batch instance termination
This allows users managing AI/ML training or container workloads to scale down large fleets faster and more efficiently.
- Enables passing up to 100 instance IDs to the TerminateInstanceInAutoScalingGroup API in a single call
- Reduces the number of API calls required to scale down Auto Scaling groups
- Designed for AI/ML training jobs, container orchestrators, and event-driven architectures
- Atomically validates all instances in a batch before termination begins
- Preserves lifecycle hooks and load balancer connection draining for each instance in the batch
- Available across all AWS Regions at no additional cost
