EC2 instance time-based downgrading

Overview

You can create a workflow that temporarily changes the instance type of an EC2 instance and changes it again at a specified time.

This template creates two job workflows together: a "first change workflow" and a "second change workflow".

Job Workflows Created

Using this template will create the following two job workflows.

1. First Change Workflow

Stops the EC2 instance at a specified time, changes the instance type, and starts it.

Order Job Configuration
1 Trigger Job (Timer Trigger)
2 EC2: Stop Instance
3 EC2: Change Instance Type
4 EC2: Start Instance

2. Second Change Workflow

Stops the EC2 instance at a specified time, restores the instance type, and starts it.

Order Job Configuration
1 Trigger Job (Timer Trigger)
2 EC2: Stop Instance
3 EC2: Change Instance Type
4 EC2: Start Instance

  • Group: The group in which to create the job workflow
