AmazonEC2Client.RequestSpotInstances (RequestSpotInstancesRequest)

This example creates a one-time Spot Instance request for five instances in the specified Availability Zone. If your account supports EC2-VPC only, Amazon EC2 launches the instances in the default subnet of the specified Availability Zone.

To create a one-time Spot Instance request

var client = new AmazonEC2Client();
var response = client.RequestSpotInstances(new RequestSpotInstancesRequest 
{
    InstanceCount = 5,
    LaunchSpecification = new RequestSpotLaunchSpecification {
        IamInstanceProfile = new IamInstanceProfileSpecification { Arn = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:instance-profile/my-iam-role" },
        ImageId = "ami-1a2b3c4d",
        InstanceType = "m3.medium",
        KeyName = "my-key-pair",
        Placement = new SpotPlacement { AvailabilityZone = "us-west-2a" },
                    
    },
    SpotPrice = "0.03",
    Type = "one-time"
});


            

This example command creates a one-time Spot Instance request for five instances in the specified subnet. Amazon EC2 launches the instances in the specified subnet. If the VPC is a nondefault VPC, the instances do not receive a public IP address by default.

To create a one-time Spot Instance request

var client = new AmazonEC2Client();
var response = client.RequestSpotInstances(new RequestSpotInstancesRequest 
{
    InstanceCount = 5,
    LaunchSpecification = new RequestSpotLaunchSpecification {
        IamInstanceProfile = new IamInstanceProfileSpecification { Arn = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:instance-profile/my-iam-role" },
        ImageId = "ami-1a2b3c4d",
        InstanceType = "m3.medium",
        SubnetId = "subnet-1a2b3c4d"
    },
    SpotPrice = "0.050",
