AWS Console Mobile App Adds Support for AWS CloudFormation, Auto Scaling Group Edits

Posted on: Mar 31, 2015

The AWS Console mobile app now supports AWS CloudFormation stacks and lets users edit the min, max, and desired capacities of their Auto Scaling groups. Download the app from Amazon Appstore, Google Play, and iTunes to view your resources on the go.

AWS CloudFormation customers can use the app to view stack status and overview. To view your stacks, select CloudFormation Stacks after you sign in to the app. You can browse CloudFormation stacks and view status, overview, output, tags, parameters, events, and resources for each stack.

Auto Scaling customers can now change the number of instances in an existing Auto Scaling group by editing the min, max, and desired capacity configurations for a group.

The app features support for EC2, S3, Route 53, ELB, RDS, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, CloudFormation, DynamoDB, Auto Scaling, AWS OpsWorks, CloudWatch, and the Service Health Dashboard. The app lets you authenticate several identities, so you can easily switch between multiple accounts.
