Schedule AWS instance to Auto Start/Shutdown

I'd like to run a very light ruby script once a day and then shutdown my Elastic Cloud instance on AWS in order to reduce its costs.

Is it possible to schedule an instance to auto-start once a day, run a script for one hour and then shut-down?

You can do this with the help of Lambda and CloudWatch.

This article covers how to use auto-scaling to launch your instance for a short time to run a job.

As for the job itself, you can trigger it's execution on startup by any of the methods suitable to your OS/environment. Some are listed on this page.
