Amazon EC2 Spot Instance Icon

Amazon EC2 Spot Instances offer spare compute capacity at significantly lower prices than On-Demand Instances. They're ideal for fault-tolerant, flexible workloads that can handle interruptions. Because they use unused EC2 capacity, they're available as long as that capacity remains, meaning your instances might be terminated with a two-minute warning. Spot Instances are perfect for batch processing, large-scale computing, and other applications that can tolerate this type of interruption.
