Workflows

Torque role: Account admin

Workflows allow you to schedule actions on all resources of a certain cloud provider (AWS or Azure) in the relevant environment. For example, to power off all VMs daily at the end of the work day. Each workflow is triggered at its scheduled time and can also be executed by the end-user from the Workflows tab of the environment's resource.

Note

At this time, Workflows are supported only for VM esources.
