Description

Creates an EC2 Fleet that contains the configuration information for On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances. Instances are launched immediately if there is available capacity. A single EC2 Fleet can include multiple launch specifications that vary by instance type, AMI, Availability Zone, or subnet. For more information, see EC2 Fleet in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Parameters

-CapacityRebalance_ReplacementStrategy <FleetReplacementStrategy>
The replacement strategy to use. Only available for fleets of type maintain.launch - EC2 Fleet launches a replacement Spot Instance when a rebalance notification is emitted for an existing Spot Instance in the fleet. EC2 Fleet does not terminate the instances that receive a rebalance notification. You can terminate the old instances, or you can leave them running. You are charged for all instances while they are running.launch-before-terminate - EC2 Fleet launches a replacement Spot Instance when a rebalance notification is emitted for an existing Spot Instance in the fleet, and then, after a delay that you specify (in TerminationDelay), terminates the instances that received a rebalance notification.

-CapacityRebalance_TerminationDelay <Int32>
The amount of time (in seconds) that Amazon EC2 waits before terminating the old Spot Instance after launching a new replacement Spot Instance.Required when ReplacementStrategy is set to launch-before-terminate.Not valid when ReplacementStrategy is set to launch.Valid values: Minimum value of 120 seconds. Maximum value of 7200 seconds.

-CapacityReservationOptions_UsageStrategy <FleetCapacityReservationUsageStrategy>
Indicates whether to use unused Capacity Reservations for fulfilling On-Demand capacity.If you specify use-capacity-reservations-first, the fleet uses unused Capacity Reservations to fulfill On-Demand capacity up to the target On-Demand capacity. If multiple instance pools have unused Capacity Reservations, the On-Demand allocation strategy (lowest-price or prioritized) is applied. If the number of unused Capacity Reservations is less than the On-Demand target capacity, the remaining On-Demand target capacity is launched according to the On-Demand allocation strategy (lowest-price or prioritized).If you do not specify a value, the fleet fulfils the On-Demand capacity according to the chosen On-Demand allocation strategy.

-SpotOptions_AllocationStrategy <SpotAllocationStrategy>
The strategy that determines how to allocate the target Spot Instance capacity across the Spot Instance pools specified by the EC2 Fleet launch configuration. For more information, see Allocation strategies for Spot Instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
price-capacity-optimized (recommended)
EC2 Fleet identifies the pools with the highest capacity availability for the number of instances that are launching. This means that we will request Spot Instances from the pools that we believe have the lowest chance of interruption in the near term. EC2 Fleet then requests Spot Instances from the lowest priced of these pools.
capacity-optimized
EC2 Fleet identifies the pools with the highest capacity availability for the number of instances that are launching. This means that we will request Spot Instances from the pools that we believe have the lowest chance of interruption in the near term. To give certain instance types a higher chance of launching first, use capacity-optimized-prioritized. Set a priority for each instance type by using the Priority parameter for LaunchTemplateOverrides. You can assign the same priority to different LaunchTemplateOverrides. EC2 implements the priorities on a best-effort basis, but optimizes for capacity first. capacity-optimized-prioritized is supported only if your EC2 Fleet uses a launch template. Note that if the On-Demand AllocationStrategy is set to prioritized, the same priority is applied when fulfilling On-Demand capacity.
diversified
EC2 Fleet requests instances from all of the Spot Instance pools that you specify.
lowest-price (not recommended)
We don't recommend the lowest-price allocation strategy because it has the highest risk of interruption for your Spot Instances.EC2 Fleet requests instances from the lowest priced Spot Instance pool that has available capacity. If the lowest priced pool doesn't have available capacity, the Spot Instances come from the next lowest priced pool that has available capacity. If a pool runs out of capacity before fulfilling your desired capacity, EC2 Fleet will continue to fulfill your request by drawing from the next lowest priced pool. To ensure that your desired capacity is met, you might receive Spot Instances from several pools. Because this strategy only considers instance price and not capacity availability, it might lead to high interruption rates.
Default: lowest-price

-SpotOptions_InstancePoolsToUseCount <Int32>
The number of Spot pools across which to allocate your target Spot capacity. Supported only when Spot AllocationStrategy is set to lowest-price. EC2 Fleet selects the cheapest Spot pools and evenly allocates your target Spot capacity across the number of Spot pools that you specify.Note that EC2 Fleet attempts to draw Spot Instances from the number of pools that you specify on a best effort basis. If a pool runs out of Spot capacity before fulfilling your target capacity, EC2 Fleet will continue to fulfill your request by drawing from the next cheapest pool. To ensure that your target capacity is met, you might receive Spot Instances from more than the number of pools that you specified. Similarly, if most of the pools have no Spot capacity, you might receive your full target capacity from fewer than the number of pools that you specified.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-SpotOptions_MaxTotalPrice <String>
The maximum amount per hour for Spot Instances that you're willing to pay. 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 specify a maximum price, your Spot Instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify this parameter.If your fleet includes T instances that are configured as unlimited, and if their average CPU usage exceeds the baseline utilization, you will incur a charge for surplus credits. The MaxTotalPrice does not account for surplus credits, and, if you use surplus credits, your final cost might be higher than what you specified for MaxTotalPrice.
