Managing a schedule group - EventBridge Scheduler

Managing a schedule group

A schedule group is an Amazon EventBridge Scheduler resource that you use to organize your schedules.

Your AWS account comes with a default scheduler group. You can associate a new schedule with the default group or with schedule groups that you create and manage. You can create up to 500 schedule groups in your AWS account. With EventBridge Scheduler, you organize schedule groups, instead of individual schedules, by applying tags.

A tag is a label comprised of a case-sensitive key and a case-sensitive value that you define. You can create tags to categorize schedules by criteria like purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you can identify the environment that your schedules belong to with the following tag: environment:production.

Important

Do not add personally identifiable information (PII) or other confidential or sensitive information in tags. Tags are accessible to many AWS services, including billing. Tags are not intended to be used for private or sensitive data.

A schedule group has two possible states: ACTIVE and DELETING.

When you first create a group, it is ACTIVE by default. You can add schedules to an ACTIVE group. When you delete a group, the state changes to DELETING until EventBridge Scheduler finishes the deletion of the associated schedules. After EventBridge Scheduler deletes the schedules in the group, the group is no longer available in your account.

Use the following topics to create a schedule group and apply a tag to it. You'll also associate a schedule with the group. and Finally, you'll delete the group.
