❖ AWS EC2 Overview

Pricing

On-Demand instances, you pay for compute capacity by per hour or per second depending on which instances you run.
Spot instances are available at a discount of up to 90% off compared to On-Demand pricing.
Reserved Instances provide you with a significant discount (up to 75%) compared to On-Demand instance pricing.

Spot Instance

Refer to: Amazon EC2 Spot Instances Pricing

The Spot instance is the spare resources of AWS computers, that being said, its existence uncertain, it all depends on the market.

The price for a Spot instance is always changing. And the way to use it is to set a maximum hourly price for each instance. When the price hit the limitation you've set, the instance will be automatically TERMINATED!

Hence, it's not good for long term running, but rather for short term computation needs.
