Lambda Managed Instances let customers run functions on managed EC2 instances with autoscaling and load balancing. Previously, predictable traffic patterns required manual capacity adjustments or custom automation to meet demand changes.
The new scheduled scaling feature allows defining one-time or recurring capacity limit changes ahead of anticipated traffic fluctuations, such as increasing capacity before business hours or scaling down during idle periods. This automation is available in all regions supporting Lambda Managed Instances and utilizes Amazon EventBridge Scheduler APIs and consoles.
