Server Scheduler provides a web‑based visual scheduler that automates start, stop, resize, and reboot actions for AWS resources such as EC2, RDS, and ElastiCache, with multi‑cloud support planned. The platform includes cost‑optimization analytics that detect orphaned volumes, oversized instances, and Savings Plan opportunities, and logs all activity for audit compliance. Role‑based access and SSO enable secure collaboration for DevOps and FinOps teams.

Problem
Organizations often keep cloud compute, database, and cache instances running outside of business hours, leading to unnecessary consumption of CPU, memory, and storage resources. Manual start/stop, resizing, and reboot processes require custom scripts or operator intervention, increasing operational overhead and making cost optimization error‑prone.
Solution
Server Scheduler delivers a web‑based, visual time‑grid that lets users define start, stop, resize, and reboot actions for EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, and comparable resources across supported cloud providers. The platform authenticates to the cloud provider’s API, schedules the actions in a server‑side job queue, and executes them precisely at the configured localised time zones. Built‑in cost analytics scan the account for orphaned EBS volumes, oversized instances, and Savings Plan opportunities, then surface actionable recommendations within the same dashboard. All activity is logged for audit compliance, and role‑based access controls ensure only authorized personnel can modify schedules. The solution eliminates the need for cron jobs, Terraform scripts, or custom automation code, allowing operations teams to reduce spend while maintaining required capacity.
Target Audience
The primary users are DevOps engineers, cloud operations teams, and FinOps analysts in SMBs and mid‑market enterprises that run AWS workloads and seek automated cost control.
Features
- Drag‑and‑drop visual scheduler with timezone support for defining start/stop, resize, and reboot policies
- API‑driven execution engine that invokes AWS (and future GCP/Azure) actions without user scripts
- Automated cost‑optimization engine: orphaned EBS detection, instance right‑sizing, and Savings Plan suggestions
- Multi‑cloud capability (AWS currently live; GCP and Azure in roadmap) with unified dashboard
- Immutable audit log and change history for compliance reporting
- Role‑based access control (RBAC) and SSO integration for secure team collaboration
- No‑code, point‑and‑click interface; eliminates cron management and custom Terraform modules
- Exportable reports and alerts via email or webhook for FinOps monitoring
