Is there any alternative for WebJobs in AWS (like in Azure)?

I need to implement scheduled tasks, so that every X time the job will start running and will start an .exe file.

I did this those tasks in Azure very easily, but can't find something appropriate in Amazon Web Services.

Can you tell me if there is something similar in AWS for Azure WebJobs?

Is Azure WebJobs deprecated?

Azure WebJobs are deprecated, but still in use. They are being phased out in favor of Azure Functions. Azure Functions is a more up-to-date and feature rich service which offers a greater degree of flexibility and control.

Are Azure functions WebJobs?

Azure Functions and the Durable Functions extension are built on the WebJobs SDK. The job host in the WebJobs SDK is the runtime in Azure Functions. If you need to control behavior in ways not possible in Azure Functions, you can develop and run Durable Functions by using the WebJobs SDK yourself.

What is equivalent of EC2 in Azure?

Data disks in blob storage provide durable data storage for Azure VMs. This storage is similar to AWS EC2 instance disk volumes on EBS. Azure temporary storage provides VMs with similar low-latency temporary read-write storage to EC2 instance storage, also called ephemeral storage.

What is the difference between Azure functions and WebJobs?

Summary. Azure Functions offers more developer productivity than Azure App Service WebJobs does. It also offers more options for programming languages, development environments, Azure service integration, and pricing. For most scenarios, it's the best choice.

The most similar piece of AWS services that fits your needs is AWS Lambda. But as your comment states you do not want to code.

When comparing AWS to other cloud services it pops out that AWS focus on a very primitive services that can be connect and build complex systems. This is an advantage as one can tailor the cloud to its needs. However it can be more complex to setup when compared to a PaaS.
