Persistent Spot Instance Request with CloudFormation
- by PapelPincel
Is it possible to create "Persistent Spot Instance" with AWS CloudFormation ?
I'm going through the Autoscale and EC2 CloudFormation's template references but there is no mention how to set a property so the Spot requests stay persistent.
When the price bid lower than the actual spot price AWS brings the instances down. I would like the instances to be started automatically when the instance price is cheaper again. This can be set manually when creating a new spot instance request by checking the option "Persistent Request" in the "Request Instances Wizard".
