Re:We use Kubernetes and spot instances to reduce EC2 billin... by tuananh on Monday February 24, 2020 @11:29PM (#22410913)
author here: this is why i suggest to use mix of reserved instances and spot instances. worse case scenario, everything will be on the small number of reserved + on-demand instances.

there are other strategies to avoid this as well

using multiple type of instance, of different sizes, on different availability zones. because price spike is different for each combinations

using bigger size instance than usual because bigger = more stable / less likely to get evicted
