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.
