EventBridge Scheduler - Only one out of 4 functions work.

Question

I've followed this source - https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/start-stop-lambda-eventbridge

Created four lambda functions, start/stop for two instances.

EventBridge rules setup, with crons and allocated to the lambda functions. Only thing I've noticed is that the stop function for once instance works.

If more information required, happy to share. Just getting annoyed of having to mainly restart/stop. I had functions set in node.js and upgraded them to node.js 18 and they broke so I followed the above source.

Answer

Hello.

Are there any errors in CloudWatch Logs?  
Is it possible for you to share the Lambda code as well?

Also, if you only want to stop and start EC2, I think it would be easier to set up Amazon EventBridge Scheduler without creating Lambda.  
The blog below configures Amazon EventBridge Scheduler to stop EC2, but you can configure the settings for starting it using almost the same steps.

Answer

There's no errors, for one of the functions it has the log of when the server was stopped. But for everything theres no logs at all, only for when a test has been ran.

Start Instance (Removed instance ID)

```
import boto3
region = 'eu-west-2'
instances = ['']

ec2 = boto3.client('ec2', region_name=region)

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    ec2.start_instances(InstanceIds=instances)
    print('started your instances: ' + str(instances))

```

Stop Instance

```
import boto3
region = 'eu-west-2'
instances = ['']

ec2 = boto3.client('ec2', region_name=region)

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    ec2.stop_instances(InstanceIds=instances)
    print('stopped your instances: ' + str(instances))

```

I could try use the method you've posted.
