Cloud Resource Scheduler Function
Cloud resources start incurring costs as soon as they’re created and running—even if they’re not actively being used. In many cases, speed and flexibility are the main reasons organizations choose the cloud, which often leads to resources being left on, whether they’re needed or not.
However, keeping resources running when they’re only used during specific times can lead to unnecessary expenses. While turning them on and off manually each time might save money, it’s also inconvenient and prone to being forgotten.
To solve this challenge, OpsNow360 offers the Cloud Resource Scheduler under the Asset menu.
With this feature, you can schedule your cloud resources to automatically start and stop based on your preferred day and time. This ensures resources are only running when needed—helping you reduce waste and control cloud costs without extra effort.
Next, let’s explore the key features of the Cloud Resource Scheduler.
Cloud Resource Scheduler Key Features
- Create a schedule: You can create a schedule to start or stop an instance according to the desired day and time, and you can activate/deactivate the created schedule at any time.
