CloudOps Orchestration Service:Sleep ACS::Sleep

Usage

Use this action for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) scenarios that require a waiting period. For example, an ECS instance for a new application may need to prefetch data. This action pauses the task to allow the prefetch to complete before subsequent operations can run.
