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
