AWS spot instance prices rising?

1 pointpwarner3 comments

I see some signs AWS spot instance prices are starting to creep up. I am sort of guessing this is related to increased demand from COVID-19 induced app usage increases. Anyone else seeing this? Any one know if AWS is doing OK keeping up with demand?

A small amount in most areas, yeah.

Frankly I'm surprised they have spot capacity at all, given how much other providers are struggling to work at all.

Thanks for confirming. Let's hope this is all we see. Signed up for your newsletter!

Oh, I see Azure is struggling more indeed. They have smaller overall size, and way more regions so that must be a really hard combo to maintain proper spare capacity.
