Amazon CloudWatch Metrics

This solution creates a new custom Amazon CloudWatch metric (InstanceScheduler:<stackname>). Each time the AWS Lambda function runs, it updates the metric data for each applicable instance and then applies the appropriate start or stop action. This data includes the name of the schedule, the number of instances associated with that schedule, and the number of running instances.
