**To set the time-based scaling configuration for a layer** The following example sets the time-based configuration for a specified instance. You must first use ``create-instance`` to add the instance to the layer. :: aws opsworks --region us-east-1 set-time-based-auto-scaling --instance-id 69b6237c-08c0-4edb-a6af-78f3d01cedf2 --auto-scaling-schedule file://schedule.json The example puts the schedule in a separate file in the working directory named ``schedule.json``. For this example, the instance is on for a few hours around midday UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) on Monday and Tuesday. :: { "Monday": { "10": "on", "11": "on", "12": "on", "13": "on" }, "Tuesday": { "10": "on", "11": "on", "12": "on", "13": "on" } } *Output*: None. **More Information** For more information, see `Using Automatic Time-based Scaling`_ in the *AWS OpsWorks User Guide*. .. _`Using Automatic Time-based Scaling`: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/userguide/workinginstances-autoscaling-timebased.html
