# aws-cdk.aws-autoscaling-common — Common implementation package for @aws-cdk/aws-autoscaling and @aws-cdk/aws-applicationautoscaling

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 160.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a sister library to aws-cdk.aws-autoscaling and aws-cdk.aws-applicationautoscaling that houses shared implementation details between them. It is not designed for direct use in application code; instead, it serves as an internal dependency that those higher-level CDK packages build upon. The package provides common constructs and utilities for autoscaling functionality within the AWS CDK framework.

The package is part of AWS CDK v1, which reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and is no longer receiving updates. Users actively developing new infrastructure should migrate to AWS CDK v2 rather than adopt this v1 library. It remains available for maintaining existing v1-based codebases, but no new features or bug fixes are expected.

Use it for:

- Maintaining existing AWS CDK v1 infrastructure-as-code projects that depend on autoscaling constructs.
- Understanding the internal implementation of aws-cdk.aws-autoscaling when debugging or extending v1 CDK applications.
- Transitioning legacy CDK v1 autoscaling code during a migration to AWS CDK v2.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides shared internal implementation details for AWS CDK autoscaling constructs; intended for use by other CDK packages rather than direct application code.

No, unless you are maintaining an existing AWS CDK v1 codebase. This package is end-of-support as of 2023-06-01 and is not intended for direct use. New projects should use AWS CDK v2 instead. For existing v1 projects, install only as a transitive dependency of aws-cdk.aws-autoscaling or aws-cdk.aws-applicationautoscaling.

## Install

pip install aws-cdk-aws-autoscaling-common
uv add aws-cdk-aws-autoscaling-common
poetry add aws-cdk-aws-autoscaling-common

## Installing aws-cdk.aws-autoscaling-common

Before you install: Low install friction with a wheel distribution. Maintenance status is active, but the package is part of AWS CDK v1, which reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01; users should migrate to AWS CDK v2.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing commercial use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

# This package is not intended for direct use.
# It is automatically installed as a dependency of aws-cdk.aws-autoscaling.
# Example: pip install aws-cdk.aws-autoscaling
# The common library is then available transitively.

AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01; migrate to AWS CDK v2 for new projects.

Verify before relying:

- Whether direct use of this package outside aws-cdk.aws-autoscaling and aws-cdk.aws-applicationautoscaling is supported or recommended.
- Current stability and bug-fix status given the v1 end-of-support date.
