AWS Lambda supports scheduled scaling for functions on Lambda Managed Instances

AWS Lambda Scheduled Scaling for Managed Instances

AWS Lambda now supports scheduled scaling for functions running on Lambda Managed Instances, using Amazon EventBridge Scheduler. This feature allows you to define one-time or recurring schedules to adjust your function's capacity limits ahead of expected traffic, ensuring performance targets are met during peak periods and costs are minimized during idle times.

Lambda Managed Instances enable running Lambda functions on managed Amazon EC2 instances with built-in routing, load balancing, and autoscaling. Capacity scales between your configured minimum and maximum execution environment limits based on traffic. Scheduled scaling lets you proactively adjust capacity limits ahead of known demand changes, such as business-hours applications or marketing events.

What to do

• Use Amazon EventBridge Scheduler to create schedules for scaling capacity.
• Configure schedules to increase capacity before business hours or scale down during idle periods.
• Manage schedules via the Amazon EventBridge Scheduler console, AWS CLI, AWS SDK, AWS CDK, or AWS CloudFormation.
