AWS Instance Scheduler is a popular option for saving up a large portion of the cost of computing services in situations where there are predictable planned times for operating compute services. In other words, since no clients are accessing particular environments during the period, it’s normal for development environments or workloads to be shut down during non-working times.

By evaluating when the instances are more widely used, you can implement more complex schedules, or even apply an always-stopped schedule and then start up the instances when you need them.

In this article, we will cover a step-by-step guide to create an AWS schedule and apply it to several instances. At the very end of the article, there is a section on how to do this with Microtica, without having to set up and manage the infrastructure for the scheduler, and it takes less than 5 mins.
