Can we use spot fleet in cluster config section?

Hello sheperd,
thank you for your interest.
Spot fleet aren't supported. May I ask you on which of the request types and configuration strategies you were mostly interested in?

Thanks

Hi Luca,

I am using slurm scheduler, and use spot compute node.
Right now, I found it took a long time for pcluster to start new spot instance and configure it to be ready to handle jobs.
I am wondering whether using spot fleet to start multiple spot instances in parallel may help or not.

By the way, how can I control the lifecycle of spot compute nodes via configuration?

thanks,
Sheperd

Hello sheperd,
spot_pricecan be configured for compute nodes.
