Method for managing operational schedules of cloud-based systems
Techniques for managing cloud-based systems are provided. A user provides search criteria for cloud-based resources through a web-based user interface. A search for the cloud-based resources is conducted based on the search criteria. The web-based interface displays a listing of cloud-based resources matching the search criteria. The user provides an input indicating a request to keep awake a first cloud-based resource. In response, the web-based interface copies an original operating schedule for the first cloud-based resource into a first tag and modifies the original operating schedule contained within a second tag to form a modified operating schedule to cause the cloud-based resource to keep awake. The user can restore the original operating schedule when desired. Alternatively, the web-based interface can automatically restore the original operating schedule when a predetermined time period expires.

modifying the original operating schedule contained within a second tag associated with the first cloud-based resource to form a modified operating schedule to keep the first cloud-based resource awake past the first time;
executing the first cloud-based resource on at least one processor past the first time based on the modified operating schedule;
receiving a second request to restore the original operating schedule prior to expiration of a predetermined time period; and
restoring the original operating schedule for the first cloud-based resource based on receiving the second request prior to expiration of the predetermined time period.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the search criteria comprises a primary tag value and a secondary tag value, wherein the modified operating schedule specifies to execute the first cloud-based resource until a second time, the second time subsequent to the first time, the method further comprising:
operating the first cloud-based resource according to the original operating schedule subsequent to restoring the original operating schedule.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the displaying further comprises displaying an instance identifier, an instance name, a current operational state, and a schedule type for each cloud-based resource matching the search criteria.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising issuing a command to start the first cloud-based resource if the first cloud-based resource is currently not running.
12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising notifying a set of users when the original operating schedule is modified to form the modified operating schedule.
13. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to:
receive search criteria for cloud-based resources via a web-based user interface;
