Brock Noland commented on HIVE-4920: ------------------------------------ It varies quite a bit but I think it averages to about $1-2 per hour. The past few days there have been large spikes in the prices of spot instances which results in our slave instances being terminated. See attached. c1.xlarge seems to be more stable but also in less supply. I think that I will change to using c1.xlarge and then if fallback to m1.xlarge and then to on-demand instances. > PTest2 spot instances should fall back on c1.xlarge and then on-demand > instances > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4920 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4920 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Brock Noland > Assignee: Brock Noland > Priority: Critical > Attachments: Screen Shot 2013-07-23 at 3.35.00 PM.png > > > Today the price for m1.xlarge instances has been varying dramatically.
