Set parameters

$ export ECS_CLUSTER_NAME={YOUR_ECS_CLUSTER_NAME}
$ export ECS_SERVICE_NAME={YOUR_ECS_SERVICE_NAME}

RegisterScalableTarget

$ aws application-autoscaling register-scalable-target --service-namespace ecs \
    --scalable-dimension ecs:service:DesiredCount \
    --resource-id service/${ECS_CLUSTER_NAME}/${ECS_SERVICE_NAME} \
    --min-capacity 1 \

PutScheduledAction

$ export SCALE_OUT_ACTION_NAME=fargate-time-based-scale-out

# configure scaling out
$ aws application-autoscaling put-scheduled-action --service-namespace ecs \
