schedule_expression = "cron(0 9 * * 1-5 *)"
}
# Target trigger
resource "aws_cloudwatch_event_target" "lambda_target" {
rule = aws_cloudwatch_event_rule.scheduled_task.name
target_id = "TriggerLambda"
arn = "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:123456789012:function:my-function"

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Cron expressions, syntax rules, and platform nuances.
What Kubernetes API version should I use for CronJob?
Use "batch/v1" for modern Kubernetes clusters (v1.21+). The older "batch/v1beta1" is deprecated and removed in recent Kubernetes releases.
How do concurrencyPolicy and restartPolicy work in a CronJob?
concurrencyPolicy controls overlapping executions: "Forbid" skips new runs if previous run is active; "Allow" permits concurrent jobs; "Replace" cancels running jobs. restartPolicy is commonly set to "OnFailure" or "Never".
