DescribeScheduledActions (new) Link ¶

Describes the scheduled actions for the specified service namespace.

You can filter the results using the ResourceId, ScalableDimension, and ScheduledActionNames parameters.

To create a scheduled action or update an existing one, see PutScheduledAction. If you are no longer using a scheduled action, you can delete it using DeleteScheduledAction.

PutScheduledAction (new) Link ¶

Creates or updates a scheduled action for an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

Each scalable target is identified by a service namespace, resource ID, and scalable dimension. A scheduled action applies to the scalable target identified by those three attributes. You cannot create a scheduled action without first registering a scalable target using RegisterScalableTarget.

To update an action, specify its name and the parameters that you want to change. If you don't specify start and end times, the old values are deleted. Any other parameters that you don't specify are not changed by this update request.

You can view the scheduled actions using DescribeScheduledActions. If you are no longer using a scheduled action, you can delete it using DeleteScheduledAction.
