AutoScalingGroup construct doesn't allow to set autoScalingGroupName. It is a vital part of our infrastructure to give specific names which are used by our integration tests.

The underlying CFN resource supports setting the name https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-as-group.html.

At the moment I have to do the following:

import { AutoScalingGroup, CfnAutoScalingGroup } from '@aws-cdk/aws-autoscaling';
import { AmazonLinuxImage, InstanceClass, InstanceSize, InstanceType, Vpc } from '@aws-cdk/aws-ec2';

const asgName = 'my-asg-name';
const asg = new AutoScalingGroup(this, asgName, {
    instanceType: InstanceType.of(InstanceClass.BURSTABLE2, InstanceSize.NANO),
    desiredCapacity: 3,
    machineImage: new AmazonLinuxImage(),
    maxCapacity: 10,
    minCapacity: 3,
    vpc: Vpc.fromLookup(this, 'default-vpc', {
        isDefault: true
    })
});

const realASG: CfnAutoScalingGroup = (asg as any).autoScalingGroup as CfnAutoScalingGroup;

realASG.addPropertyOverride('AutoScalingGroupName', asgName);
