Synopsis

  • This module allows the user to create, update and delete a ScheduledJob resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For state=present, creates a new Scheduled Job to perform a specific package operation on a set of managed instances or managed instance groups. Can be created as a one-time execution in the future, or as a recurring execution that repeats on a defined interval.

  • This resource has the following action operations in the oracle.oci.oci_os_management_scheduled_job_actions module: change_compartment, run_scheduled_job_now, skip_next_scheduled_job_execution.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Parameters
