How to use spot instances during the Christmas frenzy?

Spot instances are a cost-effective option offered by cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. However, they come with the risk of being reclaimed at any time, making them difficult to manage for production workloads. This article discusses how automation can address these challenges and make spot instances reliable even during peak times. Automation platforms like CAST AI's Spot Fallback feature keep workloads running by temporarily adding on-demand nodes when no spot instances are available. Automation also takes care of tasks such as provisioning instances, managing spot interruptions, and optimizing instance types for cost efficiency. By using automation, users can save time and effort while still benefiting from the cost savings offered by spot instances.
