Question

Can I use AWS EC2 Spot Instances in Hybrid Deployment?

Answer

Deployment on AWS Spot Instances are not recommended. Spot Instances can be reclaimed by AWS at short notice when capacity is needed for On-Demand workloads.

If a Spot Instance is reclaimed, the Agent must restart on a new instance. This can result in credential loss and job failures. In addition, sync jobs may be interrupted mid-run, leading to unexpected failures and frequent rescheduling.

For stable and reliable operation, the Agent should be deployed on other non-preemptible EC2 instance types.
