For help getting started with CloudFormation, see the [AWS CloudFormation User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/Welcome.html). # AWS::EC2::EC2Fleet CapacityReservationOptionsRequest Describes the strategy for using unused Capacity Reservations for fulfilling On-Demand capacity. **Note** This strategy can only be used if the EC2 Fleet is of type `instant`. For more information about Capacity Reservations, see [On-Demand Capacity Reservations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-capacity-reservations.html) in the *Amazon EC2 User Guide*. For examples of using Capacity Reservations in an EC2 Fleet, see [EC2 Fleet example configurations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-fleet-examples.html) in the *Amazon EC2 User Guide*. ## Syntax To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax: ### JSON ``` { "[UsageStrategy](#cfn-ec2-ec2fleet-capacityreservationoptionsrequest-usagestrategy)" : {{String}} } ``` ### YAML ``` [UsageStrategy](#cfn-ec2-ec2fleet-capacityreservationoptionsrequest-usagestrategy): {{String}} ``` ## Properties `UsageStrategy` Indicates whether to use unused Capacity Reservations for fulfilling On-Demand capacity. If you specify `use-capacity-reservations-first`, the fleet uses unused Capacity Reservations to fulfill On-Demand capacity up to the target On-Demand capacity. If multiple instance pools have unused Capacity Reservations, the On-Demand allocation strategy (`lowest-price` or `prioritized`) is applied. If the number of unused Capacity Reservations is less than the On-Demand target capacity, the remaining On-Demand target capacity is launched according to the On-Demand allocation strategy (`lowest-price` or `prioritized`). If you do not specify a value, the fleet fulfils the On-Demand capacity according to the chosen On-Demand allocation strategy. *Required*: No *Type*: String *Allowed values*: `use-capacity-reservations-first` *Update requires*: [Replacement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-replacement)
