How It Works
Spotter fetches data from two AWS sources:
- Spot Advisor Data: Provides information about interruption rates and savings percentages
- Spot Price Data: Provides current spot prices for different instance types
The tool combines this information to give you a comprehensive view of spot instances, helping you make informed decisions about which instances to use for your workloads.
