Use Quick Setup to automate startup and shutdown schedules for ECS and ApsaraDB RDS instances across multiple regions in a single configuration.
Compared with the Scheduled Startup/Shutdown feature in the Common O&M Tasks module, the Quick Setup feature in CloudOps Orchestration Service (OOS) lets you schedule automatic startup and shutdown across instances in multiple regions at once — so you apply consistent schedules without repeating the same configuration in each region. For more information about scheduled startup and shutdown, see Reduce costs with scheduled startup and shutdown.
Procedure
To create a scheduled startup and shutdown task, perform the following steps on the Quick Setup page of the OOS console:
Log on to the OOS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Quick Setup.
On the Configuration Library tab, find the Scheduled Startup and Shutdown card and click Create.
-
In the Cross account configuration section, select Current Account or Across Accounts (Resource Directory).
Current Account (default): targets resources within the current account.
Across Accounts (Resource Directory): targets resources across multiple accounts. Before selecting this option, make sure resource directories are enabled and that you have completed the setup as an administrator or delegated administrator. When enabling trusted access, set ROS as the trusted service. For more information, see Manage delegated administrator accounts.
-
In the Configure Parameters section, set the scheduling options for the task.
The following table describes the key parameters.
Parameter
Description
Execution mode
Controls the operation order: Power on and then shut down (starts then stops) or Shut down and then power on (stops then starts).
Execution cycle
The schedule on which the task runs, such as daily or on specified days of the week.
StoppedMode
Applies only to ECS instances. Set to Economical Mode or Standard Mode based on your business requirements.
-
In the Select Instances section, specify the regions, resource type, and instances to which the task applies.
You can specify the current region or multiple regions. Configure the following settings:
-
Region (SelectRegion): choose where to apply the task.
Deploy in Current Region: applies the task to the region selected in the top navigation bar of the OOS console.
Deploy in Another Region: applies the task to one or more regions that you select.
-
Resource type (ResourceType): select the type of resource to include in the schedule.
ECS Instance
ApsaraDB RDS Instance
-
Instance selection (Select Role): choose how to identify the instances. The available methods depend on the region setting.
If Deploy in Current Region is selected, choose from Manually Select Instances, Specify Instance Tags, Specify Resource Group, or Select All and select one or more nodes.
If Deploy in Another Region is selected, only Specify Instance Tags and Select All are available and select one or more nodes.
-
-
In the Control Options section, configure rate control to limit how the task rolls out across instances.
-
Rate control type: controls how many instances are processed at a time.
Concurrency-based Control: the number or percentage of instances on which the task runs simultaneously.
Batch-based Control: runs the task in batches. Specify batch sizes as numbers or percentages in the Batch Array field, then set the control mode to Automatic, Suspend Each Batch, or Suspend First Batch.
Error Threshold: the maximum number or percentage of instances that can fail before the execution stops. The default is 0, meaning the task stops if any instance fails. A value of 100% lets the task continue regardless of how many instances encounter errors.

After the task is created, view its details on the Quick Setup page.
