Automatically replace AWS EC2 instances in AutoScaling groups with cheapest compatible spot instances https://autospotting.org
those outside the ASG should be eventually swapped against those from the ASG, just give it some time. regarding the savings limit, I'm contemplating to remove it soon and bring back the no-limit but expiration within 30 or 60 days model that I had in the past, as it's too much hassle to maintain and update this savings computation logic to work with the new event-based execution mode
@/all reminder that the second Ask me Anything about AutoSpotting Zoom call is scheduled in about 45min, everyone is invited and can join at https://www.linkedin.com/events/askmeanythingzoomcallaboutautos6727895500017823744/
@/all I've just pushed a draft PR (AutoSpotting/terraform-aws-autospotting#37) that updates the Terraform code to match the latest CloudFormation template, please have a look and provide feedback. I successfully applied it but didn't yet test if AutoSpotting actually works with it. Testing it and any sort of feedback about it would be more than welcome
@aaratn try the latest build, I removed the savings limits logic and replaced with the expiration logic we had in the past
@aaratn in the latest version of the Terraform module I just released there's now also experimental Terraform native support for all the features available in CloudFormation, you may want to give that a try
But perhaps we could do the math and choose the GP3 automatically below a certain size threshold
yeah suppose so. looks like you have to have a GP2 volume at least 170 GiB before it can burst above 128 MiB/s, and larger than 334 GiB before it'll do 250 MiB/s all the time.

I think it makes sense to have the conversion automatically done based on a size threshold configurable by the user with a sane default: 170GB if you need to match the throughout and 1TB for IOPS
@/all experimental/WIP support for the automated storage upgrade from GP2->GP3 and IO1->IO2 EBS volume types is now available at AutoSpotting/AutoSpotting#436 Feel free to try it out and report issues
@/all I just enabled "Discussions" on the Github repo, https://github.com/AutoSpotting/AutoSpotting/discussions/454, feel free to join there as well.
Hello everyone
I have a question
I want to write a program that, for example, has a timekeeping function and We also have an infinite loop function to receive instant input from the user and print it
And also is very important to both work together
Do not wait for the first function to end

Hey @cristim ,
You should see the hourly savings in the logs of each run, and also after a while in the billing console. the trial simply stops replacement actions when over the hourly rate that extrapolates to $1000 over monthly
Earlier, the limit of $1000 was configurable in custom builds. Is that not an option now? I don’t see that in core/autoscaling.go file now.
@/all the recording of the latest AutoSpotting Webinar can be seen here, for now only accessible to Patreon supporters.
I'll release the video for the wider audience within a few weeks
In the latest build, I am seeing errors like above, a spot instance was launched but was not added to the ASG (with launch configuration). Anyone else faced a similar issue?
i have quesiton regarding autospotting spot limit handle
if my account is new, do you make a request to get more limit in my behalf? or how does it work?
No*
Would you like to have this request automated ?
i think it can be done with aws cli api
we can request a limit increase in case of launch failures for a given instance type but we should be careful not to cause a support case flood
@/all I had to delete all user logos from autospotting.io, and I'd really appreciate if you could help me get a few logos from your companies. You can see more about it here
I'm also in the process of ramping up a comaintainer who will eventually take over the stable builds from me. I'll help him with the next release but going forward he's going to maintain the stable builds while I keep working on the OSS code sponsored by my current employer. I'll soon start working 1-3 days weekly on Autospotting as part of my job but this came with the condition that I stop my involvement in the stable builds to avoid any sort of conflict of interest
The Patreon earnings as of now will be sent to the new stable build maintainer, and he's already working on Autospotting and ramping up nicely so far
@/all I'm happy to announce that the Terraform installation issues reported in AutoSpotting/terraform-aws-autospotting#38 and AutoSpotting/terraform-aws-autospotting#39 have recently been fixed. Let me know if you still notice any similar issues. Huge thanks to @lightninglife for reporting this issue!
