The q1 on-demand metrics are definitely very interesting!
One possible cause of this trend is actually still consistent with spot demand growth in aggregate: when customers deploy spot fleets with on-demand backup capacity and all spot prices get closer to on-demand, those fleets would become more likely to revert to on-demand, rather than a more expensive pool of spot instances.
Measuring this would be a great opportunity to leverage the vantage point that your team has!
- alien_ 3y agoExcept for Karpenter and EMR, no other AWS services (including Spot fleets) failover between Spot and OnDemand when losing Spot capacity. You simply run Spot from other instance types, and if no Spot capacity is available you run at reduced capacity. Alternative solutions such as AutoSpotting.io are doing it and allow you to run with failover capacity.
