Long running scheduled tasks in .net core and aws

I was wondering what would be the recommended way to host a long running scheduled task in AWS.

Currently we have an EC2 instance (windows) in charge of triggering our app every few hours. This task will take between 1-3 hours depending on the number of items to process.

Any suggestions?

Thx Seb

I would recommend AWS Step Functions. Very easy to implement. Part of the AWS Serverless Platform.

AWS Step Functions

AWS Step Functions makes it easy to coordinate the components of distributed applications and microservices using visual workflows. Building applications from individual components that each perform a discrete function lets you scale and change applications quickly. Step Functions is a reliable way to coordinate components and step through the functions of your application. Step Functions provides a graphical console to arrange and visualize the components of your application as a series of steps. This makes it simple to build and run multistep applications. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries when there are errors, so your application executes in order and as expected. Step Functions logs the state of each step, so when things do go wrong, you can diagnose and debug problems quickly. You can change and add steps without even writing code, so you can easily evolve your application and innovate faster.

Using AWS Lambda with Scheduled Events would let you create an AWS Lambda that will respond to a scheduled event. This Lambda could then trigger your app. Your app doesn't need to be in a Lambda itself.
