Create a period to start instances based on a schedule

A Period defines the duration when the instance should run

scheduler-cli create-period --stack Instance-Scheduler-MIKA --region us-east-1 --name MikaPeriod-01 --begintime 17:20 --endtime 17:25 --weekdays mon-fri

Create a schedule for the period

Each schedule must contain at least 1 period – that defines the time the instance should run.

scheduler-cli create-schedule --stack Instance-Scheduler-MIKA --name MikaSchedule-01 --region us-east-1 --periods MikaPeriod-01 --timezone UTC
