### Environment Manager

#### Schedules

There are actions that may be need to be executed against environments one time or on a recurring basis. Examples of these include:

- Configuring a **Time to Live (TTL) policy** to shut down environments after a specified time period
- Configuring a **Schedule Policy** to shut down environments when not in use (evenings/weekends)
- Periodically capture a snapshot of K8s resources for compliance purposes

Supported actions include

- Deploy
- Destroy (to shut down the environment)
- Custom Workflows (this can be a series of tasks that can be a container, a set of HTTP calls or functions written in Go or Python)

It is also possible for Platform team to configure opt-out policies for Schedules. This includes:

- Maximum number of times that an end user can opt-out of a configured schedule policy
- Maximum duration that the user can opt-out for (e.g. if an end user is opting out of a TTL policy, the Platform team can configure the maximum duration that user can specify when opting out)
- Attaching an approval workflow for opt-out (e.g. integration with a system like ServiceNow or JIRA for raising/recording approvals)

Schedule policies can be defined as part of the environment template configuration.

This feature is currently supported through RCTL CLI, System Sync and API interfaces. Support for UI and TF provider interfaces will be added in an upcoming release.
