hey folks, because I'm actively reviewing this and my brain is full I made a mistake in terminology before... Reserved Instance - a long term VM contract Dedicated Host - bare metal server apologies for the confusion On 3 January 2018 at 15:54, Paul van den Bergen <paul.vandenbergen@gmail.com

spot price means if you get out bid partway through your hour, you lose that VM and anything running on it (I think there is an option to dump to a s3 bucket or some such - but regardless)
the price is usually so cheap that it's perfect for throwaway computational tasks - hadoop, grid (keep track of the state of your returns independantly), etc, and so on. Also, IIUC it only hits you when demand is larger than supply.

Hi,

OK. As of reinvent 2017, AWS introduced bare metal server pricing. As far as I understand it, if the hardware breaks, you get a new machine, but it's up to you to manage DR.
dedicated instances - it's a long term contract for a VM (not a bare metal machine)
on demand - you pay per hour.
Typically you want a mailserver running 24/7, so about 750 hours every month.
spot price - you pay "bid" for a low priced VM. If someone outbids you, you lose the VM.
Do you mean, you have a box, working... then you get outbid and lose a working box?
Kind Regards AndrewM
