278+ 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.
