AWS Guidance: Build a Spot Placement Score Tracker Dashboard to Optimize Resiliency and Savings

This Guidance shows how to build an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Spot placement score tracker to monitor unused Amazon EC2 Spot Instance capacity. Those who use Spot Instances often have questions about configuring workloads for optimal resilience and savings. Key questions include which instances to use, whether to diversify across instance types and Availability Zones (AZs), which Regions work best for particular configurations, and how time of day impacts capacity. Running cloud workloads cost-effectively on Spot Instances requires flexibility across these dimensions. This Guidance helps provide those answers by automatically tracking real-time capacity metrics across Regions, AZs, and instance types. The result is that you gain insights that can guide you on instance choice, workload placement, and diversity strategies that align with AWS best practices for fault-tolerant Spot Instance usage.
