## `scalable_target_action`{% #scalable_target_action %}

**Type**: `STRUCT`**Provider name**: `ScalableTargetAction`**Description**: The new minimum and maximum capacity. You can set both values or just one. At the scheduled time, if the current capacity is below the minimum capacity, Application Auto Scaling scales out to the minimum capacity. If the current capacity is above the maximum capacity, Application Auto Scaling scales in to the maximum capacity.

- `max_capacity`**Type**: `INT32`**Provider name**: `MaxCapacity`**Description**: The maximum capacity. Although you can specify a large maximum capacity, note that service quotas may impose lower limits. Each service has its own default quotas for the maximum capacity of the resource. If you want to specify a higher limit, you can request an increase. For more information, consult the documentation for that service. For information about the default quotas for each service, see [Service endpoints and quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-service-information.html) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
- `min_capacity`**Type**: `INT32`**Provider name**: `MinCapacity`**Description**: The minimum capacity. When the scheduled action runs, the resource will have at least this much capacity, but it might have more depending on other settings, such as the target utilization level of a target tracking scaling policy.

## `schedule`{% #schedule %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `Schedule`**Description**: The schedule for this action. The following formats are supported:

- At expressions - "`at( yyyy - mm - dd T hh : mm : ss )`"
- Rate expressions - "`rate( value   unit )`"
- Cron expressions - "`cron( fields )`"
At expressions are useful for one-time schedules. Cron expressions are useful for scheduled actions that run periodically at a specified date and time, and rate expressions are useful for scheduled actions that run at a regular interval. At and cron expressions use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) by default. The cron format consists of six fields separated by white spaces: [Minutes] [Hours] [Day_of_Month] [Month] [Day_of_Week] [Year]. For rate expressions, value is a positive integer and unit is `minute` | `minutes` | `hour` | `hours` | `day` | `days`. For more information, see [Schedule recurring scaling actions using cron expressions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/application/userguide/scheduled-scaling-using-cron-expressions.html) in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide.
