title: Long running scheduled tasks in .net core and aws
body: <p>I was wondering what would be the recommended way to host a long running scheduled task in AWS. </p>
  
  <p>Currently we have an EC2 instance (windows) in charge of triggering our app every few hours. This task will take between 1-3 hours depending on the number of items to process.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Lambda does not seem to be appropriate since my task is too long </li>
  <li>Found this topic about Hangfire <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46321059/scheduled-jobs-in-net-core-2-web-app-hosted-in-aws">Scheduled Jobs in .NET Core 2 Web app hosted in AWS</a>. Seems good but outside of AWS.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Thx
  Seb</p>
