**Example 2: To describe the first 100 specified Auto Scaling group**

This example describes the specified Auto Scaling groups. It allows you to specify up to 100 group names. ::

    aws autoscaling describe-auto-scaling-groups \
        --max-items 100 \
        --auto-scaling-group-name "group1" "group2" "group3" "group4"

See example 1 for sample output.

**Example 3: To describe an Auto Scaling group in the specified region**

This example describes the Auto Scaling groups in the specified region, up to a maximum of 75 groups. ::

    aws autoscaling describe-auto-scaling-groups \
        --max-items 75 \
        --region us-east-1

See example 1 for sample output.

**Example 4: To describe the specified number of Auto Scaling group**

To return a specific number of Auto Scaling groups, use the ``--max-items`` option. ::

    aws autoscaling describe-auto-scaling-groups \
        --max-items 1

See example 1 for sample output.

If the output includes a ``NextToken`` field, there are more groups. To get the additional groups, use the value of this field with the ``--starting-token`` option in a subsequent call as follows. ::

    aws autoscaling describe-auto-scaling-groups --starting-token Z3M3LMPEXAMPLE

See example 1 for sample output.
