How Spot Instances Work

1

Request Spot Instance

Specify your instance type and maximum price you're willing to pay.

2

Instance Launches

When capacity is available and spot price is below your max, instance starts.

3

Run Your Workload

Use the instance just like any on-demand instance.

4

Handle Interruptions

Get 2-minute warning via metadata service. Save state and gracefully terminate.

Features

Up to 90% Savings

Access spare compute capacity at a fraction of on-demand prices.

2-Minute Warning

Get notified 2 minutes before termination to save your work.

Same Performance

Identical hardware and performance as on-demand instances.

API Integration

Handle interruptions gracefully with metadata service and webhooks.

Common Use Cases

Batch Processing

Process large datasets with parallelizable workloads that can checkpoint progress

CI/CD Pipelines

Run build and test jobs that can be retried on interruption

Big Data Analytics

Apache Spark, Hadoop, and other distributed computing frameworks

ML Training

Train models with checkpointing for fault tolerance

Video Encoding

Transcode video files in parallel chunks that can be reprocessed

Web Crawling

Stateless crawling jobs that can resume from where they left off
