Question

Prajna G · Accepted Answer

Amazon EC2 Spot Instances are spare compute capacity offered at a reduced cost, available when unused capacity is available, whereas On-Demand Instances are billed at a fixed rate for the duration they are used, with no long-term commitment required. Spot Instances can be interrupted by AWS with little notice, while On-Demand Instances provide consistent, uninterrupted access.
