Save cost exponentially with this amazing server

I along with my team saved around $3000 per year just bh replacing on-demand instances with spot ones.Also, got recognised for this as this was done without any data loss.Now migrating remaining 30% applications data on spot automatically.

PROS

Just bet about 10% higher than forecasted cost and it works seamlessly like any other server by saving you from long bills.Easy to implementEasily replaceableWorks good for non-critical jobsBenefits organisations in many waysBest for batch processing and big data jobs

CONS

Not for prod/critical jobs.They can go away if bidding is higher.

Amazon EC2 Spot Instances - On Spot for all your in frequent usage

Great

PROS

The On Spot functionality is useful when we need the infrastructure to be hosted not so frequently and as per the need. This prevents us to spend money on infrastructure which is not needed at times and is cost friendly.Good for Big Data Jobs which need to run only for sometime.

CONS

Unavailability might impact some critical scenarios and should be taken into consideration while planning to opt for Spot
