What Is Spot Pricing?

The Backbone of EC2 Spot Instance Pricing

Would you like to save up to 90% on your AWS EC2 instances? Well then, you need to know about a little concept called spot pricing.

While it’s simple in theory, spot pricing is affected by so many factors that it becomes immensely complex even before you apply it to anything (such as EC2 instances). That’s why this post will guide you through everything from the basics of what spot pricing is and why you should care, all the way through to what Spot Instances are and how they can slash your AWS costs.

We’ve even provided a list of the price for every spot instance that’s available at the time of writing for those of you who just want the figures. If you know which instance type you want to find out the price of, feel free to search for it! Otherwise, we’ll be covering:

  • What is spot pricing?
  • What are AWS EC2 Spot Instances?
  • EC2 Spot Instance pricing
  • Slash your costs without relying on spot pricing

Let’s get started.

What is spot pricing?

Source

As it turns out, AWS did not invent spot pricing. The concept of spot pricing is very simple - it’s the current price placed on an asset in a marketplace for said asset to be delivered immediately. This is opposed to “future price”, which is the price for assets to be delivered sometime in the future.

Generally speaking, the spot price for most items on a global scale are fairly uniform, especially if said resource is widely available (i.e. it isn’t produced in a single local region, making it difficult to export). There will be some slight variance based on aspects such as current exchange rates, but with modern transport links and internet availability, many goods and services will have a uniform global spot price.

Think of future and spot pricing as the predicted future and current cost of a particular resource. Future pricing is usually dependent on the current spot price of an item along with expected changes in supply and demand, costs of transportation/delivery, and so on.

As a final note, just because spot pricing tends to be uniform does not mean that these prices are stable. Spot pricing is in constant flux, and so it’s important to be aware of any changes to the spot price of whatever you’re buying or selling.

So what does this have to do with AWS? Well, it all comes down to a fantastic little offering called Spot Instances…

What are AWS EC2 Spot Instances?

AWS EC2 Spot Instances take the concept of spot pricing and apply it to all EC2 instance types. It’s a pure example of supply and demand driving availability, and it can result in some hefty discounts if you use them carefully.

Spot Instances are basically EC2’s surplus stock being offered at a much lower price (up to 90% lower compared to On Demand pricing) than usual. You’re free to use these heavily discounted instances for as long as you want with one catch; if demand for them goes up, they’ll be taken away from you.

This is why Spot Instances are the “surplus stock” of AWS. Amazon is essentially taking instances that were set aside for other customers’ use, but are sitting idle for a period of time. AWS gets to sell them off cheap in order to still make money from them. Remember, the technology running all of these instances, whether you’re looking for something general purpose or highly specialized, exists whether or not they’re getting purchased. It’s thus in Amazon’s interest to make whatever money it can by offering them at a lower price than usual, rather than simply letting them sit idle.

However, this is also why the downside of Spot Instances exists.

As soon as the AWS customer who earmarked the resource’s capacity needs the resource, Amazon will pull the plug and operate it at their standard price to capitalize on that demand. They’re available as Spot Instances as long as they sit idle, but once demand returns, you’re going to be locked out.

So why use them? Surely it’s a bad idea to run your operations on instances that can be taken away from you at any time?

That’s precisely why you only run certain business operations on them.

The best way to use Spot Instances is to use them for operations where it’s easy to change out servers if needed, and on workloads which, if terminated without notice, will have little to no business impact.

Big Data is a great use case for Spot Instances, along with distributed databases and stateful applications if you have measures set up to replace any instances before service is affected, and within the desired Availability Zone. You can even effectively run Machine Learning operations on Spot Instances, but you need to be a little more careful about how you set everything up.

Just be aware that you won’t end up saving as much as you might think by using Spot Instances alone. Downtime, automation solutions, instance management, resource unpredictability, all of these aspects and more will all add to your costs in one way or another. You’ll still probably save money if you use them appropriately, but don’t get caught out by hidden and additional costs.

EC2 Spot Instance pricing

Before we dive into the specific pricing details, there are three things you need to bear in mind.

First, the exact spot pricing below will change based on supply and demand - AWS’ own pricing page is updated every 5 minutes to reflect these changes. Second, all of these prices are based on the US East (Ohio) Availability Zone. Third, availability for these instances isn’t guaranteed, as this is entirely based on which instances are in low demand when you go to make a purchase.

To make this a little easier to read we’re also going to separate instances by their type, such as general purpose, compute optimized, and so on. All instance prices will contain the Linux/UNIX usage price first, then the Windows usage price. Any instances of N/A indicate that the instance was unavailable in the US East (Ohio) region on that OS at the time of writing.
