termination_policies list / elements=string | Default: "Default" | An ordered list of criteria used for selecting instances to be removed from the Auto Scaling group when reducing capacity. Using termination_policies=Default when modifying an existing AutoScalingGroup will result in the existing policy being retained instead of changed to Default .Valid values include: Default , OldestInstance , NewestInstance , OldestLaunchConfiguration , ClosestToNextInstanceHour
Full documentation of valid values can be found in the AWS documentation: | |

vpc_zone_identifier list / elements=string | List of VPC subnets to use | ||
wait_for_instances boolean |
| Wait for the ASG instances to be in a ready state before exiting. If instances are behind an ELB, it will wait until the ELB determines all instances have a lifecycle_state of "InService" and a health_status of "Healthy". | |
wait_timeout integer | Default: 300 | How long to wait for instances to become viable when replaced. If you experience the error "Waited too long for ELB instances to be healthy", try increasing this value. |
