Description

Finds available schedules that meet the specified criteria. You can search for an available schedule no more than 3 months in advance. You must meet the minimum required duration of 1,200 hours per year. For example, the minimum daily schedule is 4 hours, the minimum weekly schedule is 24 hours, and the minimum monthly schedule is 100 hours. After you find a schedule that meets your needs, call PurchaseScheduledInstances to purchase Scheduled Instances with that schedule.

This cmdlet automatically pages all available results to the pipeline - parameters related to iteration are only needed if you want to manually control the paginated output. To disable autopagination, use -NoAutoIteration.

Parameters

-FirstSlotStartTimeRange_EarliestTime <DateTime>
This property is deprecated. Setting this property results in non-UTC DateTimes not being marshalled correctly. Use EarliestTimeUtc instead. Setting either EarliestTime or EarliestTimeUtc results in both EarliestTime and EarliestTimeUtc being assigned, the latest assignment to either one of the two property is reflected in the value of both. EarliestTime is provided for backwards compatibility only and assigning a non-Utc DateTime to it results in the wrong timestamp being passed to the service.The earliest date and time, in UTC, for the Scheduled Instance to start.This parameter is deprecated.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-FirstSlotStartTimeRange_LatestTime <DateTime>
This property is deprecated. Setting this property results in non-UTC DateTimes not being marshalled correctly. Use LatestTimeUtc instead. Setting either LatestTime or LatestTimeUtc results in both LatestTime and LatestTimeUtc being assigned, the latest assignment to either one of the two property is reflected in the value of both. LatestTime is provided for backwards compatibility only and assigning a non-Utc DateTime to it results in the wrong timestamp being passed to the service.The latest date and time, in UTC, for the Scheduled Instance to start. This value must be later than or equal to the earliest date and at most three months in the future.This parameter is deprecated.
Required?False

-FirstSlotStartTimeRange_UtcEarliestTime <DateTime>
The earliest date and time, in UTC, for the Scheduled Instance to start.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-MaxResult <Int32>
The maximum number of results to return in a single call. This value can be between 5 and 300. The default value is 300. To retrieve the remaining results, make another call with the returned NextToken value.
Note: In AWSPowerShell and AWSPowerShell.NetCore this parameter is used to limit the total number of items returned by the cmdlet.
In AWS.Tools this parameter is simply passed to the service to specify how many items should be returned by each service call.
Pipe the output of this cmdlet into Select-Object -First to terminate retrieving data pages early and control the number of items returned.

Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesMaxSlotDurationInHours
-MinSlotDurationInHour <Int32>
The minimum available duration, in hours. The minimum required duration is 1,200 hours per year. For example, the minimum daily schedule is 4 hours, the minimum weekly schedule is 24 hours, and the minimum monthly schedule is 100 hours.
Required?False

AliasesMinSlotDurationInHours
-NextToken <String>
The token for the next set of results.
Note: This parameter is only used if you are manually controlling output pagination of the service API call.
'NextToken' is only returned by the cmdlet when '-Select *' is specified. In order to manually control output pagination, set '-NextToken' to null for the first call then set the 'NextToken' using the same property output from the previous call for subsequent calls.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NoAutoIteration <SwitchParameter>
By default the cmdlet will auto-iterate and retrieve all results to the pipeline by performing multiple service calls. If set, the cmdlet will retrieve only the next 'page' of results using the value of NextToken as the start point.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Recurrence_Frequency <String>
The frequency (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Recurrence_Interval <Int32>

Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Recurrence_OccurrenceDay <Int32[]>
The days. For a monthly schedule, this is one or more days of the month (1-31). For a weekly schedule, this is one or more days of the week (1-7, where 1 is Sunday). You can't specify this value with a daily schedule. If the occurrence is relative to the end of the month, you can specify only a single day.

-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'ScheduledInstanceAvailabilitySet'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.EC2.Model.DescribeScheduledInstanceAvailabilityResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.EC2.Model.DescribeScheduledInstanceAvailabilityResponse will result in that property being returned.

If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
