Running the cron job
Here is the lambda function triggered successfully and the ec2 instance started successfully for your reference refer the below screenshots.
- Lambda test status for starting the instance: The AWS Lambda function is involved, which likely tests the status of an EC2 instance to determine if it needs to be start based on certain conditions.
- Running Instance: The scheduled task or job (using cron syntax) that will be executed periodically to perform the running action.
With this setup, you can automate the process of stopping and starting EC2 instances based on a schedule using Lambda and CloudWatch events. This helps you save costs by only running instances when they’re needed.
