 [Scaleway Serverless Jobs](/serverless-jobs/quickstart/) allows you to create and automate recurring tasks. This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating snapshots of a [Scaleway Instance](/instances/quickstart/) on a recurring schedule using a Serverless Job.
 
-Serverless Jobs are perfectly adapted for these autonomous tasks, as we do not need autoscaling or exposure via a web server. Refer to the [differences between jobs, containers and functions](/serverless-jobs/reference-content/difference-jobs-functions-containers/) for more information.

 4. Enter a name or use the automatically generated one.
 
 5. Select the region in which your job will be created.
 
-6. Keep default **resources** values, as this job requires little compute capabilities.

 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**.
 
 ## Possible improvements
 
 This tutorial is a lightweight example of how to create recurring snapshots of an Instance. You can go further by:
-- Using it to manage all your Instances snapshots
-- Create backups of your storage disks
-- Set up an alerting system in case of unexpected behavior
