Scheduling updates for an AutoScale Instance Group
279+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
280+
281+
After an AutoScale Instance Group is created, you can schedule recurring
282+
group-size updates using cron expressions and the generic resource schedule
283+
APIs.
284+
285+
To schedule an update for an AutoScale Instance Group:
286+
287+
#. Log in to the CloudStack UI as a User or admin.
288+
289+
#. In the left navigation, click Compute -> AutoScale Instance Groups.
290+
291+
#. Select the AutoScale Instance Group you want to schedule the update for.
292+
293+
#. On the AutoScale Instance Group details page, click the **Schedule** button. |autoscale-vmgroup-schedule-tab.png|
294+
295+
#. Click on **Add schedule** button to add a new schedule or click on Edit button |EditButton.png| to edit
296+
an existing schedule. |autoscale-vmgroup-schedule-form.png|
297+
298+
#. Click the Add schedule button.
299+
300+
#. Configure the schedule as per requirements:
301+
302+
- **Description**: Enter a description for the schedule. If left empty, it's generated on the basis of action and the schedule.
303+
304+
- **Min members**: Minimum number of members to scale the AutoScale Instance Group to.
305+
306+
- **Max members**: Maximum number of members to scale the AutoScale Instance Group to.
307+
308+
- **Schedule**: Select the frequency using cron format at which the action should be triggered.
309+
For example, `* * * * *` will trigger the job every minute.
310+
311+
- **Timezone**: Select the timezone in which the schedule should be triggered.
312+
313+
- **Start Date**: Date at the specified time zone after which the schedule becomes active.
314+
Defaults to current timestamp plus 1 minute.
315+
316+
- **End Date**: Date at the specified time zone before which the schedule is active.
317+
If not set, schedule won't become inactive.
318+
319+
320+
#. Click OK to save the schedule.
321+
322+
.. note::
323+
If multiple schedules are configured for an AutoScale Instance Group and the scheduled
324+
time coincides, then only the schedule which was created first will be executed and the
325+
rest will be skipped.
