AWS Instance Scheduler (ID SO0030)

Scheduler for Cross-Account and Cross-Region scheduling for EC2 and RDS instances

Getting Started

To get started with the AWS Instance Scheduler, please review the solution documentation. AWS Instance Scheduler

Building from GitHub


Overview of the process

Building from GitHub source will allow you to modify the solution. The process consists of downloading the source from GitHub, creating buckets to be used for deployment, building the solution, and uploading the artifacts needed for deployment.

You will need:

  • a Linux client with the AWS CLI v2 installed and python 3.7+, AWS CDK
  • source code downloaded from GitHub
  • two S3 buckets (minimum): 1 global and 1 for each region where you will deploy

Download from GitHub

Clone or download the repository to a local directory on your linux client. Note: if you intend to modify Ops Automator you may wish to create your own fork of the GitHub repo and work from that. This allows you to check in any changes you make to your private copy of the solution.

Git Clone example:

git clone https://github.com/awslabs/aws-instance-scheduler.git

Download Zip example:

wget https://github.com/awslabs/aws-instance-scheduler/archive/master.zip

Repository Organization

|- deployment/                - contains build scripts, deployment templates, and dist folders for staging assets.

Build

AWS Solutions use two buckets: a bucket for global access to templates, which is accessed via HTTPS, and regional buckets for access to assets within the region, such as Lambda code. You will need:

  • One global bucket that is access via the http end point. AWS CloudFormation templates are stored here. Ex. "mybucket"
  • One regional bucket for each region where you plan to deploy using the name of the global bucket as the root, and suffixed with the region name. Ex. "mybucket-us-east-1"
  • Your buckets should be encrypted and disallow public access

Build the solution

From the deployment folder in your cloned repo, run build-s3-dist.sh, passing the root name of your bucket (ex. mybucket), name of the solution i.e. aws-instance-scheduler and the version you are building (ex. v1.3.3). We recommend using a similar version based on the version downloaded from GitHub (ex. GitHub: v1.3.3, your build: v1.3.3.mybuild)

chmod +x build-s3-dist.sh
build-s3-dist.sh <bucketname> aws-instance-scheduler <version>

Run Unit Tests

cd ./deployment
chmod +x ./run-unit-tests.sh
./run-unit-tests.sh

Confirm that all unit tests pass.

Upload to your buckets

Upload the template and the lambda to your bucket in the following pattern,

s3://mybucket-us-east-1/aws-instance-scheduler/v1.3.3/instance-scheduler.zip (lambda Code)

Templates

s3://mybucket/aws-instance-scheduler/v1.3.3/instance-scheduler.template
s3://mybucket/aws-instance-scheduler/v1.3.3/instance-scheduler-remote.template

Deploy

See the AWS Instance Scheduler Implementation Guide for deployment instructions, using the link to the instance-scheduler.template from your bucket, rather than the one for AWS Solutions. Ex. https://mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com/aws-instance-scheduler/v1.3.3.mybuild/instance-scheduler.template

CDK Documentation

AWS Instance Scheduler templates are generated using AWS CDK, for further information on CDK please refer to the documentation
