Support Scheduled Scaling in AWS Autoscaling Groups

[kurron]

It appears that as of Terraform v0.6.6 we cannot schedule scaling of our autoscaling groups. The use case is that we have some test instances that don't need to be running at night so we want to shut them off. Currently, you have to use the AWS CLI to accomplish this. Here is a snippet of a Bash file to illustrate what I mean:

# set the capacity to 0 during normal off hours: 5PM to 8AM UTC every day
SCALE_DOWN='aws autoscaling put-scheduled-update-group-action --auto-scaling-group-name ecs-autoscaling-experiment --scheduled-action-name scaledown-schedule-daily --recurrence "0 17 1-31 1-12 1-7" --min-size 0 --max-size 0 --desired-capacity 0'
echo $SCALE_DOWN
eval $SCALE_DOWN

It would be great if Terraform could support this capability.

I have a WIP on this - #4256

I believe this is a Duplicate of #2367
