Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling adds support for local time zones for scheduled scaling
The scheduled scaling feature of Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling allows you to set a schedule for your Auto Scaling group to scale in and scale out your EC2 capacity. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling now allows you to set a local time zone for scheduled scaling actions via the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) and AWS SDKs, with support in the AWS Management Console and AWS CloudFormation coming soon. Selecting a time zone makes schedules easier to review and also removes the need to adjust schedules for Daylight Saving Time (DST).
