Add Reources

The Plan is the container for resources (the elements of the Plan). You can add resources to a plan and the same resource can be present in more then one plan at the same time.

More than one plan can have the same resources with different schedules

  • Open the plan edition from the Menu (steps are here) and go to the Elements tab
  • Click the Add Element button
Add Element button
  • In the form, choose first the Operation and then the Service Type (the services are grouped by cloud: AWS, Azure and GCP)
Add Element form
  • The operation can be Power On/Off (start/stop), Horizontal Scaling (capacity) or Vertical Resize (instance type/class). The last two are explained in Horizontal and vertical scaling.
  • Fill in the data (required fields are marked with *):
  • Credential / Account: the credential of the cloud account where the resource lives
  • Resource Name
  • Resource ID: the instance ID, VM ID, self link... depending on the service. Find Resources lists the resources of the selected credential so you can pick one
  • Region (AWS) or Resource Group (Azure)
  • Only for scaling operations: the ON/OFF capacity or the ON/OFF size
  • Click Add Element at the bottom of the form and then Save Plan

Once the element is added, you can change the order of the elements: drag them by the handle, see Reorder Resources.
