Resource Scheduling

Resource Scheduling reduces waste by starting and stopping supported resources on a defined schedule.

Open Resource Scheduling

Go to Automation > Resource Scheduling. The menu can show a New badge for organizations that have not activated scheduling for AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Create a schedule

  1. Select the create-schedule action.
  2. Enter the schedule name.
  3. Choose the provider and target resources or scope.
  4. Select the time zone.
  5. Define start and stop times and the active days of the week.
  6. Review the affected resources.
  7. Save the schedule.

Manage schedules

  • Open a schedule to view Scheduler Details.
  • Use the edit action to change its scope or timing.
  • Confirm that the schedule is enabled.
  • Review resource state and execution results after the first run.

Best practices

  • Use the resource owner’s time zone, not the administrator’s browser time zone.
  • Exclude production and always-on resources unless explicitly approved.
  • Account for holidays, maintenance, and overnight jobs.
  • Start with a small resource set and verify one full start/stop cycle.
  • Provide an exception process for teams that need temporary access outside the schedule.

Creating or changing schedules can alter cloud resource state. Use the organization’s approval process and verify cloud permissions before enabling a schedule.
