Hi, I need to configure every day the server need to be powered on automatically some time and the same need to be powered off in the evening. Power off i was done through scheduled task in windows. But powering on is the challenge. I tried with lambda option but having some error

Are you trying to save some money on the amount of hours the server is powered on a month?

Here I thought that was the whole point of using things like EC2.

Best that you found out now. It's a common misconception that it is about "powered on" versus "existing." The point of cloud computing is creating / destroying to save money, not powering on and off. The later we could do before cloud.

Yes, I'm very aware of this, which is why I brought up the automated create/destroy so much earlier in this thread!
