Can I use spot instances as primary instances in an autodialing group?

[@CloudConceptsByChandra]

what is a primary instance in an autodialing group?

[@MikePreston-darkflib]

Generally, you want to understand your risk profile - can you deal with the (albeit) small risk of no spot instances available. For my work, we run our EKS clusters using a base load of some on-demand capacity (and specify the pods with a priority so they get scheduled in preference on available infrastructure) and then spome spot capacity to give us a large pool of cheaper resources. It works well, but it might take a little tuning and understanding for your application.

When interruption signal is sent, the spot instances have no choice but to terminate in 2 minutes right? The current jobs are not guaranteed?

[@CloudConceptsByChandra]

correct!
