Amazon EC2 Spot role for AWS PCS

If you want to create an AWS PCS compute node group that uses Spot as its purchase option, you must also have the AWSServiceRoleForEC2Spot service-linked role in your AWS account. You can use the following AWS CLI command to create the role. For more information, see Create a service-linked role and Create a role to delegate permissions to an AWS service in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide.

aws iam create-service-linked-role --aws-service-name spot.amazonaws.com

Note

You receive the following error if your AWS account already has an AWSServiceRoleForEC2Spot IAM role.

  An error occurred (InvalidInput) when calling the CreateServiceLinkedRole operation: Service role name AWSServiceRoleForEC2Spot has been taken in this account, please try a different suffix.
