Public-meeting video rendering can tolerate interruption, but real-time computer-aided dispatch (CAD) for first responders cannot. How should Spot be applied?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Editing last night's council video can pause; a 911 CAD screen cannot. Spot is fine for interruptible rendering and the wrong bet for real-time dispatch.
Full Explanation
Spot Instance pricing benefits interruptible, non-critical workloads. Real-time public-safety CAD requires stable capacity and should use On-Demand, Savings Plans/RIs, or other non-Spot assurances. Mixing critical and non-critical on Spot without separation risks operational failure. Blanket bans on Spot for restartable batch forgo legitimate savings.
