Introduction to menus

The idea behind Spot is to make it possible to configure and automate the management of Spot without any major concerns.

For this we have Smart Pricing. In this functionality we have an AI feature, which calculates and chooses a Spot instance based on the choice of a strategy between 3 options:

  • Balanced: In this strategy we seek a balance between savings and availability. The machines suggested for your Spot Fleet take into account substantial savings compared to the On Demand price, while still preserving availability.

  • Monthly Average: Using this strategy, The Spot will look for machines that have had the greatest savings in relation to the On Demand price within the last month. When looking at a 30-day period, this strategy always brings significant savings.

  • Smart Pricing: In this strategy, we will look at the lowest priced instances within your Fleet to maximize your savings on the acquisition of Spot machines.

Every 4 hours, our product is updated on which Spot Instance is most worthwhile. Every time the machine/application/server is disconnected and restarted, the chosen strategy will be taken into consideration, which at the same time meets the requirements and generates savings.
