  1. Define Max Spot Price
    Set a maximum spot price and acquire the instance while the current spot price is less than your defined maximum.

    • The hourly spot price varies based on demand and capacity.
    • If the current spot price exceeds your maximum price, you have the option to either stop or terminate the instance.
      • Grace Period: 2 minutes.
