Linode Timer for start/stop

Hello,

I just want to confirm if Linode has a functionality similar to AWS's Lambda/CloudWatch for automating Linodes start stop? I want linodes to start at 5 AM UTC? I am shutting them down from OS level at 7PM UTC. Thanks.

Regards,
Ali Arif

As you state, you can shut down from the OS level quite easily. I'm not aware of any facility to start them up all by themselves.

Starting Linodes up is easy to do with the Linode API but you need some agent to issue the API startup request (reliably and on-time). This sounds like a perfect application for a dedicated nanode.
