2017/09/18 - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - 4 updated api methods
Changes Amazon EC2 now lets you opt for Spot instances to be stopped in the event of an interruption instead of being terminated. Your Spot request can be fulfilled again by restarting instances from a previously stopped state, subject to availability of capacity at or below your preferred price. When you submit a persistent Spot request, you can choose from "terminate" or "stop" as the instance interruption behavior. Choosing "stop" will shutdown your Spot instances so you can continue from this stopped state later on. This feature is only available for instances with Amazon EBS volume as their root device.
{'SpotFleetRequestConfigs': {'SpotFleetRequestConfig': {'InstanceInterruptionBehavior': 'stop '
'| '
'terminate'}}}
Describes your Spot fleet requests.
Spot fleet requests are deleted 48 hours after they are canceled and their instances are terminated.

{'SpotInstanceRequests': {'InstanceInterruptionBehavior': 'stop | terminate'}}
Describes the Spot instance requests that belong to your account. Spot instances are instances that Amazon EC2 launches when the bid price that you specify exceeds the current Spot price. Amazon EC2 periodically sets the Spot price based on available Spot instance capacity and current Spot instance requests. For more information, see Spot Instance Requests in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
You can use DescribeSpotInstanceRequests to find a running Spot instance by examining the response. If the status of the Spot instance is fulfilled , the instance ID appears in the response and contains the identifier of the instance. Alternatively, you can use DescribeInstances with a filter to look for instances where the instance lifecycle is spot .
Spot instance requests are deleted 4 hours after they are canceled and their instances are terminated.

{'SpotFleetRequestConfig': {'InstanceInterruptionBehavior': 'stop | terminate'}}
Creates a Spot fleet request.
You can submit a single request that includes multiple launch specifications that vary by instance type, AMI, Availability Zone, or subnet.
By default, the Spot fleet requests Spot instances in the Spot pool where the price per unit is the lowest. Each launch specification can include its own instance weighting that reflects the value of the instance type to your application workload.
Alternatively, you can specify that the Spot fleet distribute the target capacity across the Spot pools included in its launch specifications. By ensuring that the Spot instances in your Spot fleet are in different Spot pools, you can improve the availability of your fleet.
For more information, see Spot Fleet Requests in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

string
The user-specified name for a logical grouping of bids.
When you specify an Availability Zone group in a Spot Instance request, all Spot instances in the request are launched in the same Availability Zone. Instance proximity is maintained with this parameter, but the choice of Availability Zone is not. The group applies only to bids for Spot Instances of the same instance type. Any additional Spot instance requests that are specified with the same Availability Zone group name are launched in that same Availability Zone, as long as at least one instance from the group is still active.
If there is no active instance running in the Availability Zone group that you specify for a new Spot instance request (all instances are terminated, the bid is expired, or the bid falls below current market), then Amazon EC2 launches the instance in any Availability Zone where the constraint can be met. Consequently, the subsequent set of Spot instances could be placed in a different zone from the original request, even if you specified the same Availability Zone group.
Default: Instances are launched in any available Availability Zone.
integer
The required duration for the Spot instances (also known as Spot blocks), in minutes. This value must be a multiple of 60 (60, 120, 180, 240, 300, or 360).
The duration period starts as soon as your Spot instance receives its instance ID. At the end of the duration period, Amazon EC2 marks the Spot instance for termination and provides a Spot instance termination notice, which gives the instance a two-minute warning before it terminates.
Note that you can't specify an Availability Zone group or a launch group if you specify a duration.
string
Unique, case-sensitive identifier that you provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. For more information, see How to Ensure Idempotency in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
boolean
Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .
integer
The maximum number of Spot instances to launch.
Default: 1
string
The instance launch group. Launch groups are Spot instances that launch together and terminate together.
Default: Instances are launched and terminated individually
