 ** InstanceInterruptionBehavior **   
The behavior when a Spot Instance is interrupted. The default is `terminate`.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `hibernate | stop | terminate`   
Required: No

 ** MaxPrice **   
The maximum hourly price you're willing to pay for a Spot Instance. We do not recommend using this parameter because it can lead to increased interruptions. If you do not specify this parameter, you will pay the current Spot price. If you do specify this parameter, it must be more than USD \$10.001. Specifying a value below USD \$10.001 will result in an `InvalidParameterValue` error message when the launch template is used to launch an instance.  
If you specify a maximum price, your Spot Instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify this parameter.
