[jira] [Commented] (WHIRR-260) Support Spot Instances

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-260?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13055617#comment-13055617 ] 

Tom White commented on WHIRR-260:
---------------------------------

Should we put the cloud provider name into options that are only supported there? E.g. ec2_spot_price?

It would be better to push the spot price configuration into TemplateBuilderStrategy, but that would mean changing that class to return Template, not TemplateBuilder. Given that we just call build() on it anyway, perhaps that's OK.
     
What is the behaviour if the spot price can't be fulfilled? Does it time out? It would be nice to add a little documentation and/or links to any relevant EC2 docs.
