Abstract
In some implementations, a scheduling system may receive a scheduling tag to define a custom schedule that includes one or more downtime windows for a cloud resource over a scheduling period. The scheduling system may determine a regular continuous schedule for the cloud resource that recurs over multiple scheduling periods based on the one or more downtime windows defined in the scheduling tag. The scheduling system may determine at a current scan time, whether a target state for the cloud resource is a running state or a suspended state based on the one or more uptime windows and the one or more downtime windows included in the regular continuous schedule. The scheduling system may align a current state of the cloud resource with the target state.
