+Scheduling updates for an AutoScale Instance Group
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After an AutoScale Instance Group is created, you can schedule recurring
+group-size updates using cron expressions and the generic resource schedule
+APIs.
+
+To schedule an update for an AutoScale Instance Group:
+
+#. Log in to the CloudStack UI as a User or admin.
+
+#. In the left navigation, click Compute -> AutoScale Instance Groups.
+
+#. Select the AutoScale Instance Group you want to schedule the update for.
+
+#. On the AutoScale Instance Group details page, click the **Schedule**
button. |autoscale-vmgroup-schedule-tab.png|
+
+#. Click on **Add schedule** button to add a new schedule or click on Edit
button |EditButton.png| to edit
+ an existing schedule. |autoscale-vmgroup-schedule-form.png|
+
+#. Click the Add schedule button.
+
+#. Configure the schedule as per requirements:
+
+ - **Description**: Enter a description for the schedule. If left empty,
it's generated on the basis of action and the schedule.
+
+ - **Min members**: Minimum number of members to scale the AutoScale
Instance Group to.
+
+ - **Max members**: Maximum number of members to scale the AutoScale
Instance Group to.
+
+ - **Schedule**: Select the frequency using cron format at which the action
should be triggered.
+ For example, `* * * * *` will trigger the job every minute.
+
+ - **Timezone**: Select the timezone in which the schedule should be
triggered.
+
+ - **Start Date**: Date at the specified time zone after which the schedule
becomes active.
+ Defaults to current timestamp plus 1 minute.
+
+ - **End Date**: Date at the specified time zone before which the schedule
is active.
+ If not set, schedule won't become inactive.
+
+
+#. Click OK to save the schedule.
+
+ .. note::
+ If multiple schedules are configured for an AutoScale Instance Group and
the scheduled
+ time coincides, then only the schedule which was created first will be
executed and the
+ rest will be skipped.
