Result of run-instance request if no spot instance capacity

Simulating "Spot Capacity Not Available" and "Price Too Low" Scenarios Simulating these conditions for testing purposes can be challenging because they depend on real-time conditions in the AWS Spot Market, which are not directly controllable. However, you can use the following approaches to mimic these scenarios:

1. Choose a Less Available Instance Type or Availability Zone: Some instance types or Availability Zones may have less available capacity due to high demand. By targeting these in your request, you might increase the chances of encountering a "no capacity" situation.

2. Set a Very Low Bid Price: Setting a bid price significantly below the current spot price can help simulate the "price too low" condition. You can check the current spot price trends in the AWS Management Console or use the describe-spot-price-history CLI command to find a suitable low bid price.
