Monitoring: Amazon EC2 Fleet / Spot Fleet
Amazon EC2 Spot Fleet is a service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows users to provision and manage a fleet of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances at a reduced cost. The service is designed to help users take advantage of unused EC2 capacity that is available at lower prices, known as Spot Instances.
Why should you monitor Amazon EC2 Fleet / Spot Fleet?
Monitoring Amazon EC2 Spot Fleet is important for one main reason:
Spot Instances are subject to availability, and AWS can terminate Spot Instances when the Spot price exceeds the user’s maximum price. As a result, it’s essential to monitor the availability of Spot Instances in your Spot Fleet to ensure that your applications can run smoothly without interruption. Monitoring can help you determine if your Spot Fleet is being impacted by sudden spikes in demand or if there are any significant changes in Spot Instance availability.
