Terminate all instances in a ASG with ec2_asg

Hello,

I’m trying to use the ec2_asg module here : http://docs.ansible.com/ec2_asg_module.html
The goal is to kill all instances during the night and boot them the morning.

I tried :

  • name: Shutdown PREPROD
    hosts: localhost
    remote_user: root

tasks:

  • name: Shutdown instances
    ec2_asg:
    region: eu-west-1
    name: MYASGNAME
    min_size: 1
    max_size: 5
    desired_capacity: 2

Settings are ok, the playbook run an modify my ASG as I wish.

When I try to set desired_capacity at 0 or min_size at 0, my parameters are ignored and no action is done.
Any idea about why I can’t do this ? The delete function do the same thing before remove the ASG.

My version of ansible is 1.8.1, installed with “pip”.

Thanks
