SPA: Harnessing Availability in the AWS Spot Market
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers transient virtual servers at a discounted price as a way to sell unused spare capacity in its data centers. Although transient servers are very appealing as some instances have up to 90% discount, they are not bound to regular availability guarantees as they are opportunistic resources sold on the spot market. In this paper, we present SPA, a framework that remarkably increases the spot instance reliability over time due to insights gained from the analysis of historical data, such as cross-region price variability and intervals between evictions. We implemented the SPA reliability strategy, evaluated them using over one year of historical pricing data from AWS, and found out that we can increase the transient instance lifetime by adding a pricing overhead of 3.5% in the spot price in the best scenario.
