(Mis)adventures in the AWS Spot Market

Spot requests, a.k.a. bids, go to the Amazon order book and then the requests transition through a few states and statuses. The states are still not clear to me. While putting in requests I was able to configure most of the variables I expect to be able to configure for an EC2 instance. One thing I liked is that there is an event stream associated with the request and when a request is canceled it also kills any associated instances for that request, assuming the request was actually fulfilled with a running EC2 instance.

This is what the event stream looks like but it is not clear if there is an associated API with webhooks for the lifecycle of the request and the associated instance https://goo.gl/oWo3Fj #DataIntegration #ML
