Impact of Updating a Scaling Schedule

• Time-Triggered Scaling : The updated scaling schedule will now trigger scaling actions at the new times and intervals, ensuring resources are adjusted as per the new configuration.
• Flexible Scaling : Changes to the recurrence or time zone allow for more customized and flexible scaling actions, improving the performance during peak or off-peak times.
