@vielmetti : I'm starting to catch up with the additions in the packet API. For the spot instance creation, do the flags below make sense?
--spot-instance
: set the spot_instance
parameter in the API call true,
spot-price-max
: set spot market price bid
For the error handling part I'll run some tests and see what happens, as it's not obvious from the docs.
Thanks @ebsarr . If you run into weird error conditions report them here and I'll make sure they get a review and that the documentation gets updated anywhere it's unclear. Your plan sounds good to me.
@vielmetti : try v2.1
Packet now has support for a "spot market" for interruptible, reduced price instances. There's a brief bit of documentation at
https://help.packet.net/technical/deployment-options/spot-market
Two commands to add to support this:
packet admin spot-prices
- "will provide the current prices for each Packet facility and plan."packet baremetal create-device
- add optional flag to set spot market price bid (spot_price_max)I think the first of these is relatively straightforward; the second one, perhaps will take a little thinking, especially in handling error conditions.
