Amazon Elastic Beanstalk is expanding its Spot allocation strategy options to include capacity-optimized-prioritized, lowest-price and price-capacity-optimized, in addition to the existing default capacity-optimized strategy.
Amazon Elastic Beanstalk is a service that provides the ability to deploy and manage applications in Amazon Web Services without worrying about the infrastructure that runs those applications. Customers can now enjoy additional allocation strategy options for Spot instances on Elastic Beanstalk such as capacity-optimized-prioritized, lowest-price, and price-capacity-optimized strategies. The capacity-optimized-prioritized strategy allows users to prioritize instance types while still focusing on available capacity, ideal for workloads with specific instance preferences. The lowest-price strategy requests your Spot Instances using the lowest priced pools to maximize cost savings. The price-capacity-optimized strategy balances both price and capacity availability, offering a middle ground for users seeking to optimize costs without compromising too much on the likelihood of interruptions.
This functionality is now available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) region, operated by Sinnet and in Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) region operated by NWCD.
