AWS Cloud Development Kit - From Beginner to Professional - Schedule Your Lambda Function: Cron in the Cloud

The video tutorial explains how to schedule AWS Lambda functions using cloud events. It covers setting up a custom Lambda Cron stack, configuring cron jobs with both rate and cron expressions, and deploying the stack. The tutorial demonstrates how to use AWS CDK to automate the setup, including adding event triggers and permissions. It concludes with testing the deployment in the AWS console to ensure the cron jobs execute as expected.
