EC2 Instance Event Window

An EC2 Instance Event Window is an Amazon EC2 scheduling feature that lets you specify one or more preferred time ranges during which planned AWS maintenance events (for example, a reboot, stop/start or software update) may be applied to your instances. By defining event windows, you retain greater control over when service-initiated interruptions occur, enabling you to align maintenance with your own change-management processes and minimise unplanned impact.
For full details, see the official AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/event-windows.html
