Aruba Cloud offers a useful tool for managing your Cloud Servers: the scheduled tasks. From the specific section it is possible to schedule tasks which will run on the specified date and time on the selected Cloud Server. There are two types of scheduled tasks:
- single task - a task which runs one single time on a specified date and time;
- recurring task - a task which is repeated and runs (every hour, every day, every week or month) on scheduled times.
All the scheduled tasks, be they single or recurring (which have not run yet), can have their contents
changed, can be
enabled or disabled,
deleted at any time.
With the scheduled tasks it is possible to schedule the following tasks on the Cloud Servers:

VMware Cloud Server |
Hyper-V Cloud Server |
OpenStack Cloud Server |
Cloud VPS VMware |

The
Control Panel displays the scheduled tasks which have not run yet up to 12 months from the viewing date (both in the calendar view and list view). The scheduled tasks can only run on Cloud Servers which on the scheduled date and time are switched
On or
Off (it is not possible to schedule tasks on archived Cloud Servers).
Duration of the scheduled tasks
The
Control Panel displays the scheduled tasks which have not run yet up to 12 months from the viewing date (both in the calendar view and list view).
Each scheduled task is displayed until it runs, regardless of its status (enabled/disabled). Therefore in the calendar you will not see the tasks performed before the viewing date. Although it is possible to find these in the Logs of the Data Center or relevant Cloud Server.
The recurring scheduled tasks are displayed for the entire period specified with the
Start Date and
End Date, regardless of their status (enabled/disabled).
We remind you that if you do not specify an
End Date for a recurring scheduled task, the system will automatically schedule the task forever.
