⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Manage AWS / GCP / Azure Power Schedules in One Place

This is a user guide for managing AWS, GCP, and Azure resource schedules all in one place using CloudXper Schedule Mapper.

With this guide, you’ll learn how to consolidate and monitor power schedules set across multiple CSPs and accounts through a single, unified scheduler—enabling centralized and efficient multi-cloud scheduling management.

1. Supported Resources

  • AWS

    • EC2

    • RDS

  • Azure

    • Virtual Machine

  • GCP

    • VM

    • SQL

 

2. Identify Tags or Labels to Distinguish Power Schedule

To map resources to a power schedule, you first need the key/value information of the tags or labels assigned to those resources.

These tag or label values identify which resources are subject to power scheduling and are essential for proper mapping.

You can retrieve this information in two ways:

  1. Via CloudXper's inventory view, which shows tag/label details for all resources.

  2. By referring to your internal tag policy, if you already have predefined tag keys/values for power schedule management.

🔒This information is critical when creating a scheduler later, as it is used to link schedules with the correct resources—be sure to keep it noted.

Also, while EC2 is commonly referenced, RDS, Azure Virtual Machines, GCP VMs, and GCP SQL instances are fully supported.
Please make sure to check the power schedule-related tags for those resources as well.

 

3. Create CloudXper Schedule Mapper

Go to CloudXper > Optimization > Power Schedule Management > Power Schedule List service.

Click the “Add CloudXper Schedule Mapper” button.

After filling in the required information to register the scheduler, click the “Save” button to create the Schedule Mapper.

Starting from the following day, CloudXper will begin monitoring the consistency between the newly created schedule and the resources mapped via tags.

For example, if you assign the tag Schedule:WeekDays0918 to a schedule that runs from 09:00 to 18:00, CloudXper will automatically search across the selected accounts for all resources—AWS EC2, RDS, Azure VMs, GCP VMs, and GCP SQL—that have the Schedule:WeekDays0918 tag (or label).

It will then monitor whether each resource is turned ON at 09:00 and OFF at 18:00. If a resource does not follow the expected schedule, it will be classified as "Failed".

 

4. Check Scheduled Resources

After one day has passed since creating the schedule, you will be able to see the resources with matching TAGs automatically mapped to the schedule.

Additionally, any resources classified as “Scheduling Failed” in the Schedule Mapper can be easily identified from the Power Scheduling Summary screen, as shown below.

5. Summary: CloudXper Schedule Mapper

CloudXper Schedule Mapper is especially useful in the following scenarios:

  1. When you need to manage power schedules across multiple cloud service providers (Multi-CSP).

  2. When power scheduling is already organized by TAG-based grouping across Multi-CSP environments.

  3. When a centralized scheduling policy exists and you need to monitor policy compliance across all CSPs.

  4. When you want to enforce stricter control over the schedules detected by CloudXper AI Auto Detector based on internal policies.

In such cases, setting up CloudXper Schedule Mapper enables centralized monitoring of all power-scheduled resources through a single scheduler.

This is highly beneficial for administrators managing multiple CSPs and accounts, as it provides an easy way to verify whether each resource is properly scheduled according to the defined policy.
