# arpio-config:recovery-scaling-limits

## The arpio-config:recovery-scaling-limits tag tells Arpio to use different capacity settings for an Auto Scaling group when it is recovered.

### **Description**

By default, Arpio recovers an Auto Scaling group with the same minimum, desired, and maximum capacity as the group in your primary environment. That isn't always what you want. You might want to run fewer instances during a failover test to reduce cost, or start a recovered environment with more capacity so it is ready to take production traffic right away.

This tag lets you set the capacity of the recovered Auto Scaling group without changing the group in your primary environment.

### **Supported Resources**

- EC2 Auto Scaling Group

#### **Tag Value**

The value is a comma-separated list of capacity settings in this form:

`min,desired,max`

To use different settings for failover tests, add three more values:

`min,desired,max,test_min,test_desired,test_max`

- Each value must be a whole number (0 or greater), or left empty.
- An empty value uses the setting from the Auto Scaling group in your primary environment.
- If you provide only three values, they apply to both failovers and failover tests.
- After empty values are filled in, the settings must satisfy `min ≤ desired ≤ max`.

### **Examples**

| **Tag** | **Value** | **Failover Limits** | **Failover Test LImits** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `arpio-config:recovery-scaling-limits` | `1,3,` | min=1, desired=3, max=primary's max | min=1, desired=3, max=primary's max |
| `arpio-config:recovery-scaling-limits` | `1,3,,1,1,1` | min=1, desired=3, max=primary's max | min=1, desired=1, max=1 |
| `arpio-config:recovery-scaling-limits` | `,,,0,0,2` | Same as the primary environment | min=0, desired=0, max=2 |
| `arpio-config:recovery-scaling-limits` | `4,6,10` | min=4, desired=6, max=10 | min=4, desired=6, max=10 |
