• The target ECS instance must be in the Running (Running) status.
• The target ECS instance must have the cloud assistant client installed in advance.
• To perform a PowerShell command, make sure that the target Windows ECS instance has been configured with the PowerShell module.
• For one-time invocation (Timed=False), the command is performed only once.
• For periodical invocation (Timed=True), the first invocation task starts at the time specified in the Frequency parameter. Subsequent invocations follow the frequency specified in the Frequency parameter. The result of last invocation does not affect the next invocation.
• The scheduled time for periodical invocation is in UTC +08:00, and based on the system time of ECS instances. Make sure that the time on your ECS instances are consistent with your expectation.
• You can specify multiple ECS instances in the InstanceIds. When one of these instances does not comply with the invocation conditions, you can try again by specifying other instances.
