Amazon AWS cloud has three types of instance purchasing options:
- On-demand: the “ordinary” type of EC2 instance - Learn how to launch an on-demand instance.
- Reserved Instance : Paying a one-time upfront fee and save in hourly instance running costs.
- Spot instance: A user can bid for the unused Amazon EC2 compute capacity and get the instance.
A spot instance helps to reduce the cost of the instance.Amazon EC2 has huge idle computing capacity and AWS allows using this idle computing power to launch an instance at a lesser price than an on-demand instance. The present guide demonstrates how to create a spot instance using the AWS supplied Linux AMI.

AWS EC2 provides status checks that detect the problems with the underlying EC2 system used by the individual system. There are two types of checks performed every five minutes, which return a pass or a fail status. The two checks are:
- System Reachability Check, which confirms that AWS is able to get the network packets to the user’s instance.
- Instance Status Check, which detects a problem within the EC2 instance.
If both the checks are passed, the overall status of the instance will be OK. If one of the checks fails, the overall status of the instance will be impaired. The following guide demonstrates how to set the status check alerts for the instance.

Presentation: Vimeo on EC2
Vimeo is one of the leading tools for online video today. Thousands of new videos uploaded every week and stored in AWS S3 Storage. This is a great case study of an implementation of an advanced cost efficient operations.
This presentation was presented by Vimeo cloud architects - Narendra Venkataraman and Peter McArthur at the AWS Summit in NYC 2011. This great knowledge resource for advanced AWS cloud users describes an automation process that uses EC2 on-demand, spot, and reserved instances to perform online tasks i.e. videos uploads and transcoding.
