Product Overview
AutoSpotting replaces on-demand instances in your stateless AutoScaling groups with identically configured Spot instances for up to 90% better price/performance, without requiring any configuration changes on your AutoScaling groups.
All you need is 5 minutes to get started:
- Download and run the Spot Savings Estimator open source tool to simulate the rollout of AutoSpotting throughout your AWS account and see how much it would save you.
- Create the AutoSpotting configuration within the Savings Estimator tool with a single click. It is persisted as tags applied on your AutoScaling groups, without any other configuration changes needed.
- Install AutoSpotting from the AWS Marketplace by using CloudFormation or Terraform to apply that configuration. Click
Continue to Subscribeon the top of this page and follow the instructions until the end.
Here you can see a demo of the Savings Estimator which shows how easy it is to get started with AutoSpotting.
Note: For 2. the configuration tags can also be created from the AWS Console, or with any other mechanisms like the AWS CLI, your favorite Infrastructure as Code tool, or mass-tagging tools such as awstaghelper
After installing AutoSpotting, the instances from enabled groups will be gradually converted by AutoSpotting to up to 90% cheaper Spot instances.
For reduced Spot interruptions and lower costs, AutoSpotting picks instances from the cheapest available capacity pools, with maximum possible diversification.
There's also automated failover to OnDemand, and for even increased performance we automatically prioritize newer instance type generations.
When it comes to costs, AutoSpotting automatically charges you a small percentage of up to 5% of the generated savings through your AWS bill. You can see also the amount in the Savings Estimator tool.
