# Manage pipelines

## Use cron expressions

* **Note**\
  Cron expressions use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). For more information about UTC time, and to find the offset for your time zone, see [Time Zone Abbreviations – Worldwide List](https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/).
* **Tip**\
  If you don't want your pipeline job to extend into the next day while it's running, make sure that you factor in time for your build when you specify the start time.

## Use EventBridge rules

* **Note**\
  Event buses are specific to a Region. The rule and the target must be in the same Region.
* **Note**\
  To learn more about settings for rate expression rules that are not covered in this example, see [Rate expressions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-create-rule-schedule.html#eb-rate-expressions) in the *Amazon EventBridge User Guide*.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://awsnotes.dendron.so/compute/amazon-ec2-image-builder/topics/manage-pipelines.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
