Properties

BlockDeviceMappings

Defines the block devices that are mapped to the Spot instances.

Required: No

Type: List of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud SpotFleet BlockDeviceMappings

EbsOptimized

Indicates whether the instances are optimized for Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) I/O. This optimization provides dedicated throughput to Amazon EBS and an optimized configuration stack to provide optimal EBS I/O performance. This optimization isn't available with all instance types. Additional usage charges apply when you use an Amazon EBS-optimized instance.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

IamInstanceProfile

Defines the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) instance profile to associate with the instances.

Required: No

Type: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud SpotFleet IamInstanceProfile

ImageId

The unique ID of the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to launch on the instances.

Required: Yes

Type: String

InstanceType

Specifies the instance type of the EC2 instances.

Required: Yes

Type: String

KernelId

The ID of the kernel that is associated with the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) AMI.

Required: No

Type: String

KeyName

An Amazon EC2 key pair to associate with the instances.

Required: No

Type: String

Monitoring

Enable or disable monitoring for the instances.

Required: No

Type: Amazon EC2 SpotFleet Monitoring

NetworkInterfaces

The network interfaces to associate with the instances.

Required: No

Type: List of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud SpotFleet NetworkInterfaces

Placement

Defines a placement group, which is a logical grouping of instances within a single Availability Zone (AZ).

Required: No

Type: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud SpotFleet Placement

RamdiskId

The ID of the RAM disk to select. Some kernels require additional drivers at launch. Check the kernel requirements for information about whether you need to specify a RAM disk. To find kernel requirements, refer to the AWS Resource Center and search for the kernel ID.

Required: No

Type: String

SecurityGroups

One or more security group IDs to associate with the instances.

Required: No

Type: List of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud SpotFleet SecurityGroups

SpotPrice

The bid price per unit hour for the specified instance type. If you don't specify a value, Amazon EC2 uses the Spot bid price for the fleet. For more information, see How Spot Fleet Works in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

Required: No

Type: String

SubnetId

The ID of the subnet in which to launch the instances.

Required: No

Type: String

TagSpecifications

The tags to apply during creation.

Required: No

Type: List of SpotFleetTagSpecification

UserData

Base64-encoded MIME user data that instances use when starting up.

Required: No

Type: String

WeightedCapacity

The number of units provided by the specified instance type. These units are the same units that you chose to set the target capacity in terms of instances or a performance characteristic, such as vCPUs, memory, or I/O. For more information, see How Spot Fleet Works in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

If the target capacity divided by this value is not a whole number, Amazon EC2 rounds the number of instances to the next whole number.

Required: No

Type: Number
