Method for managing operational schedules of cloud-based systems

A method, comprising:

• receive search criteria for cloud-based resources via a web-based user interface;
• receiving a listing of cloud-based resources responsive to a search based on the received search criteria, the listing comprising a first cloud-based resource, an original operating schedule of the first cloud-based resource specifying to stop execution of the first cloud-based resource at a first time;
• displaying, on the web-based user interface, the listing of cloud-based resources;
• receiving a first request via the web-based user interface, the first request to keep the first cloud-based resource awake past the first time;
• copying the original operating schedule for the first cloud-based resource into a first tag associated with the first cloud-based resource and store the first tag in a storage device;
• 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.

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;
• receive a listing of cloud-based resources responsive to a search based on the received search criteria, the listing comprising a first cloud-based resource, an original operating schedule of the first cloud-based resource specifying to stop execution of the first cloud-based resource at a first time;
• display, on the web-based user interface, the listing of cloud-based resources;
• receive a first request via the web-based user interface, the first request to keep the first cloud-based resource awake past the first time;
• copy the original operating schedule for the first cloud-based resource into a first tag associated with the first cloud-based resource and store the first tag in a storage device;
• modify 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;
• receive a second request to restore the original operating schedule prior to expiration of a predetermined time period;
• and
• restore the original operating schedule for the first cloud-based resource based on receiving the second request prior to expiration of the predetermined time period.
