The same schedule on every platform
The five fields mean the same thing everywhere, but each scheduler wraps them differently — and AWS and Quartz number weekdays from 1 (Sunday), not 0.

What is the cron expression for every 10 minutes?
*/10 * * * *. In plain English: every 10 minutes. It works in standard 5-field cron — Linux crontab, Kubernetes and GitHub Actions.How do I schedule a job every 10 minutes in AWS EventBridge?
Use
cron(0/10 * * * ? *) or the simpler rate(10 minutes). EventBridge needs six fields (a year at the end), a ? in one of the day fields, and numbers weekdays 1–7 starting on Sunday.What timezone does "*/10 * * * *" run in?
Cron uses the server's timezone. Kubernetes CronJobs default to the controller's timezone (set
spec.timeZone on 1.27+), GitHub Actions and AWS EventBridge rules always use UTC. Use the timezone picker above to see the next runs in your own time.
