Q8
What is an AWS Spot Instance and how does its pricing work?
💬Answer
Spot Instances allow you to bid on spare, unused AWS EC2 capacity at up to a 90% discount compared to On-Demand.
- The Catch: AWS can reclaim the instance with only a 2-minute warning if they need the capacity back for On-Demand users. Spot pricing fluctuates dynamically based on regional supply and demand.
