Why not use non spot instances then?

  Cost optimization. This only needs to run when there are pending events, not 24/7. Also: this setup works perfectly fine with Intel instances.

    I don't understand, you're paying more than normal hourly cost? Then it's not cost saving...

      It's an auction price. I am paying half than normal cost in average. The 'high' price was set up in case the instances were being killed because I was outbid by other AWS users. But the spot price has never been that high. The instances were killed anyway. So the reason is some technical glitch and not the price. It's a CPU and RAM intensive process. Something in the VM governor is killing VM processes if they exceed some threshold, killing my instances.

        That makes more sense now. I thought you were spot higher than the AWS costs so I was confused.
