This is proving to be more difficult than anticipated. AWS has a blog post that shows a method of doing this: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/scheduling-automatic-deletion-of-application-environments/

But the AWS method requires use of an EC2 instance with the cfn tools installed (such as Amazon Linux) and I would like to avoid having extra software installed on the pilosa machines. I would like to use Lambda to schedule the deletion, but I haven't found a clear way to schedule a lambda job.

I will Icebox this for now and we can discuss options in the future.

edited the title to reflect that this could apply to any of our infrastructure testing code - we have various stuff for Azure and AWS now
