I'm afraid this isn't completely true. You can still be interrupted for capacity issues no matter what your bid is. It's quite rare on more common instance types, but becomes a problem if you have more than a few GPU or high memory type instances.
- Aeolun 5y agoI don’t think I’ve ever had my instances taken out from under me when I set the max price to the same amount as a normal instance. That said, when we exceed capacity we cannot boot any more instances, that’s definitely true.
- sharms 5y agoI thought this was true, but I have had spot instances go away even when going above reserved instance pricing.
