Spot persistent request

Question

Hi,

I want to get spot instances that i can turn on and off. This is for use as remote desktop. Unfortunately i don't find a button in the console to activate a persistent request. How can i make a persistent request trought the console?

Answer

Hi,

You don't mention which method you're using for requesting Spot Instances.

There are many ways to request a Spot Instance. We provide guidance on the best method to use for requesting Spot Instances on this page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/spot-best-practices.html#which-spot-request-method-to-use.

If you're using the EC2 console, here are the instructions for requesting a persistent (launch instance wizard) or maintain (Spot Fleet) request:
- Launch instance wizard - see Step 10d in this procedure: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/spot-requests.html#using-spot-instances-request
- Spot Fleet: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/spot-fleet-requests.html

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Marilyn
