**To describe a layer's load-based scaling configuration** The following example describes a specified layer's load-based scaling configuration. The layer is identified by its layer ID, which you can find on the layer's details page or by running ``describe-layers``. :: aws opsworks describe-load-based-auto-scaling --region us-east-1 --layer-ids 6bec29c9-c866-41a0-aba5-fa3e374ce2a1 *Output*: The example layer has a single load-based instance. :: { "LoadBasedAutoScalingConfigurations": [ { "DownScaling": { "IgnoreMetricsTime": 10, "ThresholdsWaitTime": 10, "InstanceCount": 1, "CpuThreshold": 30.0 }, "Enable": true, "UpScaling": { "IgnoreMetricsTime": 5, "ThresholdsWaitTime": 5, "InstanceCount": 1, "CpuThreshold": 80.0 }, "LayerId": "6bec29c9-c866-41a0-aba5-fa3e374ce2a1" } ] } **More Information** For more information, see `How Automatic Load-based Scaling Works`_ in the *AWS OpsWorks User Guide*. .. _`How Automatic Load-based Scaling Works`: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/workinginstances-autoscaling.html#workinginstances-autoscaling-loadbased
