Project description
A command line tool that allows you to spin up AWS EC2 Spot Instances instantly
Background
I do a lot of computation, but my computer is pretty crappy, so often I have to spin up ec2 spot instances to do some computation. Spot Instances are a good resource to use AWS EC2 instances for fairly cheap, and I am very frugal. I created this tool because I didn’t want to have to develop something on my commandline, go to my browser and create a spot instance, then go back to my commandline to rsync/scp everything up. This tool allows me to stay in my commandline the whole way.
Installation
To install, simply run
pip3 install --user spotme
Setup
Since spotcheck uses boto3, you’ll have to setup the same way. You can view the docs here
Usage
To use, run
spotme
and a series of questions will be prompted.
The result is of the form
Launching spot states sir-123abcde +---------------------+---------------+---------------+ | Instance Id | Public IP | Private IP | +---------------------+---------------+---------------+ | i-05f10faefc833c643 | x.x.x.x | x.x.x.x | +---------------------+---------------+---------------+
Repeatable Usage
If you don’t want to enter the CLI prompt every time, you can run the CLI with the options
spotme --InstanceType=t2.micro --SpotPrice=0.006 --InstanceCount=1 --AvailabilityZone=ca-central-1 --LaunchImageId=ami-d29e25b6
