Reschedule a scheduled event for an EC2 instance

You can reschedule an event so that it occurs at a specific date and time that suits you. After you reschedule an event, it might take a minute or two before the the updated date is displayed.

Limitations

  • Only events with an event deadline date can be rescheduled. The event can be rescheduled up to the event deadline date. The event deadline date is indicated in the Deadline column (console) and the NotBeforeDeadline field (Amazon CLI).

  • Only events that have not yet started can be rescheduled. The start time is indicated in the Start time column (console) and the NotBefore field (Amazon CLI). Events that are scheduled to start in the next 5 minutes can't be rescheduled.

  • The new event start time must be at least 60 minutes from the current time.

  • If you reschedule multiple events using the console, the event deadline date is determined by the event with the earliest event deadline date.

Console
To reschedule an event

  1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/ec2/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Events.

  3. Choose Resource type: instance from the filter list.

  4. Select one or more instances, and then choose Actions, Schedule event.

    Only events that have an event deadline date, indicated by a value for Deadline, can be rescheduled. If one of the selected events does not have a deadline date, Actions, Schedule event is disabled.

  5. For New start time, enter a new date and time for the event. The new date and time must occur before the Event deadline.

  6. Choose Save.

    It might take a minute or two for the updated event start time to be reflected in the console.
