public sealed class DistributionPolicy : IMessage<DistributionPolicy>, IEquatable<DistributionPolicy>, IDeepCloneable<DistributionPolicy>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
The distribution shape to which the group converges either proactively or on resize events (depending on the value set in updatePolicy.instanceRedistributionType).
Check the TargetShape enum for the list of possible values.
