RECOMMENDATION DETAIL / CW-OPT-001

Schedule development servers

A practical guide to reducing compute costs outside working hours.

✦ QUICK WIN · HIGH CONFIDENCE

Stop paying for idle development time.

Development and test instances often run overnight and on weekends. A schedule can start them before the workday and stop them after hours.

$1,240–$1,860Potential monthly savings

1–3 hoursTypical setup effort

LowImplementation effort

◷

Implementation plan

Identify non-production instances

Review tags, owners, environment, and recent utilization. Exclude shared and critical services.

Agree on working hours

Confirm team time zone—for example, start 08:00 and stop 19:00 on weekdays.

Test with a small group

Check startup scripts, data persistence, and developer workflows before rollout.

Measure realized savings

Compare actual compute charges before and after the schedule over multiple weeks.

Example schedule

☀

Start · Weekdays at 08:00

Power on eligible development instances.

◷

Stop · Weekdays at 19:00

Stop eligible instances after working hours.

Ⅱ

Weekend · stopped by default

Allow exceptions for planned releases or testing.

SAFETY CHECK

Never schedule production systems or databases without explicit owner approval and a rollback plan.
