Creating a Scheduled Scaling Policy

You can create a scheduled scaling policy to add a gateway instance during a scheduled time period, and remove it when the scheduled time period ends. The gateway instance is created in the first available empty subnet. Gateways can only be removed if they were previously added using gateway scaling.

VPCs/VNets cannot have both automatic and scheduled scaling applied.

Scheduled scaling occurs in the local time zone in which the browser is deployed. For example, if the scheduled scaling event is set to begin at 9 am, it begins at 9 am according to the local browser time zone.
