Run as much as I can in kubernetes Have 2 ASG's in my kubernetes cluster 1 is for dedicated (or RI) instances that run more of stateful apps. The ones I don't want to move around a lot The other ASG is for spot instances. I use a lambda job to replace a instance spun up with a spot instance. Those will stay up as long as it stays below the bid price. I've saved companies around 50-60% min of their ec2 bill this way.

Is there anything available open source that even comes close to the lambda job you're mentioning? It sounds like it does the job of finding the cheapest possible price at runtime, and would probably have to be pretty custom. I think an open source baseline would demonstrate you could do the customization, but with that kind of savings you have the opportunity to do this full time as a consultant, open source or not!
