Abstract

For over a decade now, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has offered its spare capacity at a discounted price in the form of EC2 spot instances. This discount comes at the price of variable pricing and sudden instance termination. In this paper, we present a machine-learning solution to one of the challenges when using AWS Spot Instances, namely the termination of the instance on short notice. Our system, Spot Instance Management System (SimS), can effectively manage spot instances and keep up the availability at the desired level using 100-tree Random Forest Regression model. By using a risk assessment mechanism and proactive actions, SimS assures a three-nines SLA using AWS spot instances with lower running costs on workloads for a major European financial institution.
