Auto-Scaling Scheduler Function

With this function you can control the execution of scale out by specifying the date and time for execution. You can use the schedule function to automate scaling out for a predictable increase of workload, such as the busy season of your business.

This function provides the method to execute the REST API at the specified time.

Tip: You can realize the operation of an increased number of virtual servers in the busy season by describing the REST API to control the scaling policy in order to increase the number.
