Top 3 Go spot-instance Projects

AutoSpotting

10 2,282 3.4 Go

Saves up to 90% of AWS EC2 costs by automating the use of spot instances on existing AutoScaling groups. Installs in minutes using CloudFormation or Terraform. Convenient to deploy at scale using StackSets. Uses tagging to avoid launch configuration changes. Automated spot termination handling. Reliable fallback to on-demand instances.

Project mention: Farewell to the Era of Cheap EC2 Spot Instances | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-05

There's a service that handles obtaining the cheapest spot instances to your specs by a former aws engineer https://github.com/LeanerCloud/AutoSpotting
Effectively, it starts up cheap spot instances (based on specified criteria) across a variety of instance types to replace whatever regular instance in an autoscaling group comes online and then spins down the regular instance.
EG: That m4a you wanted may be expensive... but nobody is using m4ad so it's 85% off and it meets the specified CPU/RAM requirements... auto spotting will spin it up instead.
Having used it on and off over the years it is sometimes eyebrow raising to see 4xl boxes running cheaper than the xl box they replaced :)

Project mention: Compliant infrastructure using infrastructure as code | dev.to | 2024-03-18

When you are using compute you have a lot of options. One of these options is Amazon EC2. In a world where more and more workloads become serverless. You might still have this use-case that is better off on EC2. But, how do you combine EC2 with compliance and security? In this blog post we will explore how we can build a compliant and secure EC2 stack.
