Resource Level Scheduler

Instructions for setting up a Resource Scheduler to manage and schedule resources in a cloud environment.

The cloud resource scheduler automates the process of enabling or disabling resources, ensuring that they are available when needed and minimizing Cloud waste. CloudThrottle provides centralized control and visibility over resource schedule, allowing organizations to optimize costs, and effectively manage their cloud resource uptime.

CloudThrottle supports scheduling at both the account level and resource level within an account. If you intend to schedule all resources in an cloud account (CSP Supported), opt for account level scheduling. However, if you have specific resources that require scheduling, choose resource level scheduling.
