InstanceInterruptionBehavior

The behavior when a Spot Instance is interrupted. The default is terminate.

Type: String

Valid Values: hibernate | stop | terminate

Required: No

MaxPrice

The maximum hourly price you're willing to pay for a Spot Instance. We do not recommend using this parameter because it can lead to increased interruptions. If you do not specify this parameter, you will pay the current Spot price. If you do specify this parameter, it must be more than USD $0.001. Specifying a value below USD $0.001 will result in an InvalidParameterValue error message when the launch template is used to launch an instance.

Important

If you specify a maximum price, your Spot Instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify this parameter.

ValidUntil

The end date of the request, in UTC format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). Supported only for persistent requests.

  • For a persistent request, the request remains active until the ValidUntil date and time is reached. Otherwise, the request remains active until you cancel it.

  • For a one-time request, ValidUntil is not supported. The request remains active until all instances launch or you cancel the request.

Default: 7 days from the current date
