Example 1: To add a scheduled action to an Auto Scaling group

This example adds the specified scheduled action to the specified Auto Scaling group.

aws autoscaling put-scheduled-update-group-action \
    --auto-scaling-group-name my-asg \
    --scheduled-action-name my-scheduled-action \
    --start-time "2023-05-12T08:00:00Z" \
    --min-size 2 \
    --max-size 6 \

    --recurrence "30 0 1 1,6,12 *" \
    --min-size 2 \
