InstanceInterruptionBehavior

The behavior when a Spot Instance is interrupted.

If Configured (for HibernationOptions) is set to true, the InstanceInterruptionBehavior parameter is automatically set to hibernate. If you set it to stop or terminate, you'll get an error.

If Configured (for HibernationOptions) is set to false or null, the InstanceInterruptionBehavior parameter is automatically set to terminate. You can also set it to stop or hibernate.

For more information, see Interruption behavior in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Type: String

Valid Values: hibernate | stop | terminate

Required: No

MaxPrice

The maximum hourly price that 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.

Important

If you specify a maximum price, your Spot Instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify this parameter.

If you specify a maximum price, it must be more than USD $0.001. Specifying a value below USD $0.001 will result in an InvalidParameterValue error message.

Type: String

Required: No

SpotInstanceType

The Spot Instance request type. For RunInstances, persistent Spot Instance requests are only supported when the instance interruption behavior is either hibernate or stop.

Type: String

Valid Values: one-time | persistent

Required: No

ValidUntil

The end date of the request, in UTC format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). Supported only for persistent requests.

  • For a persistent request, the request remains active until the ValidUntil date and time is reached. Otherwise, the request remains active until you cancel it.

  • For a one-time request, ValidUntil is not supported. The request remains active until all instances launch or you cancel the request.

Type: Timestamp
