+You can periodically execute CLI commands with Serverless Jobs to automate the management of your Scaleway resources. Refer to the [dedicated documentation](/serverless-jobs/how-to/automate-resources-management/) for more information.

+[Scaleway Serverless Jobs](/serverless-jobs/quickstart/) allows you to create and automate recurring tasks. This page shows how to create jobs to perform any operation available with the [Scaleway CLI](https://github.com/scaleway/scaleway-cli/blob/master/docs/commands/config.md) to automate the management of your Scaleway resources.
+
+Serverless Jobs are perfectly adapted for these autonomous tasks, as we do not need autoscaling or exposure via a web server. Refer to the [documentation on differences between jobs, containers, and functions](/serverless-jobs/reference-content/difference-jobs-functions-containers/) for more information.

+- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com).
+- [Owner](/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization.
+
+## Creating the job definition
+
+1. In the [Scaleway console](https://console.scaleway.com), click **Jobs** in the **Serverless** section of the side menu. The jobs page displays.
+
+2. Click **Create job**. The job creation wizard displays.
+
+3. For **Container Image**, select **External**, and in **Image URL**, set: `scaleway/cli:latest`.
+
+4. Enter a name or use the automatically generated one.
+
+5. Select the region in which your job will be created.
+
+6. Keep the default **resources** values, as this job requires little compute capability.
+
+7. Set a **cron schedule** in the `* * * * *` format (such as `0 0 * * *` to run the job every day at midnight), and select the relevant time zone to run the job at the desired frequency. Refer to the [cron schedules documentation](/serverless-jobs/reference-content/cron-schedules/) for more information.
+
+8. Define the following environment variables:
+    - `SCW_ACCESS_KEY`: your API access key.
+    - `SCW_SECRET_KEY`: your API secret key.
+    - `SCW_DEFAULT_PROJECT_ID`: your Project ID.
+    - `SCW_DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_ID`: your Organization ID.
+    - `SCW_DEFAULT_REGION`: desired region.
+
+    <Message type="note">
+        We recommend using [Secret Manager](/secret-manager/quickstart/) to store the `SCW_ACCESS_KEY` and `SCW_SECRET_KEY`.
+    </Message>
+
+    For more details about variables used by `cli`, refer to the [CLI config documentation](https://github.com/scaleway/scaleway-cli/blob/master/docs/commands/config.md).
+
+9. In the **Execution** tab, define the desired Scaleway CLI command, as shown in the examples below:
+    - **Power on and off Instances**
+        ```sh
+        # Power on
+        scw instance server start 11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111
+
+        # Power off
+        scw instance server stop 11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111
+        ```
+    - **Create a snapshot of an Instance volume**
+        ```sh
+        scw instance snapshot create volume-id=11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111
+        ```
+    - **Create a backup of an Instance**
+        ```sh
+        scw instance server backup 11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111
+        ```
+10. Click **Create job**.
+
+Your Serverless Job will run the command periodically according to the [cron schedule](/serverless-jobs/reference-content/cron-schedules/) you defined.
+
+## Running the job
+
+From the **Overview** tab of the Serverless job you just created, click **Actions**, then select **Run job** from the contextual menu.
+
+The execution appears in the **Job runs** section. You can access the logs of your job by clicking <Icon name="more" /> next to the job run ID, and selecting **See on Cockpit**.
