As shown above, the Plan depends on the credentials as any resource referenced in the plan (Virtual Servers) needs a Credential associated. The plan is a object with some specific attributes :
Name: It is not neccesary to be uniqe but recommended, for a better Operation and Control
Timezone: The schedule depends on the location you need. Depending on the idiosyncrasies of your Teams you may need to have a plan for a Group of resources in Argentina, other for your Beijin Team and other for your european Team as each of them are working with different resources in different projects
A common approach consists on naming the plans according to the project or a mix of team-project: devs-ar-surveillancecamconcentrator001
Start Time: When your schedule starts in the desired Timezone; this means when to start assuming the resources referenced in the plan should be stopped. This attribute only admits hours and not minutes.
Duration: How long (in hours) since the Start Time the resources referenced shoud be stoppd
Days of the Week: What days of the week we need this Plan working.
Please be vigilant: avoid adding the same resource to multiple plans simultaneously with different schedules, as this can lead to instability. Cloud Scheduler processes each plan individually, making the behavior unpredictable when two plans with overlapping schedules are involved. For instance, the resource may remain active until the next hour in some cases, while in others, it may shut down prematurely.
Notification: It is possible (and recommended) the configuration of a Notifications Channel as this way every time an error occurs, the desired Channel will be informed.
State: Active / Disabled. It is possible to define a Plan just for showing the range of possible alternatives and then it can be easy to enable or destroy the definition.
It is crucial to carefully plan how to group resources based on projects, teams, or objectives to ensure efficient management and alignment with your goals. However, keep in mind that plans are flexible and can be easily modified at any time. Any changes made will take effect at the start of the next hour, providing adaptability without disrupting operations.
