AWS AutoScaling Spot Mixed Instance Types: Newer Way to Launch Instances

December 16, 2021

Tags:

We'll build an AutoScaling Group with Mixed Instance Types. This allows you to use a combination of on-demand and spot instances. As a part of this, we'll define a Launch Template, since Mixed Instance Types are only supported with Launch Templates. We'll also terminate an EC2 instance to show that AutoScaling will self-heal the cluster. Finally, we'll clean up the resources.
