Hi.

Is it possible to define AWS max spot bid for instances?

Hi Terraformers

Is it possible to define AWS max spot bid for instances?

Is there anyone here?

Yes... But unfortunately I cannot answer this specific question as I don't use AWS myself...

svanharmelen I couldn't find anything in the docs / source code (although TL;DR ) Can you give me at least a rough pointer?

svanharmelen also: Do you know if terraform has an API? if I would like to control a cluster automatically

yaronr: as for your first question, I'm not anywhere near a computer right now (texting on my iPhone right now) so I don't have access to do a quick glance through the AWS provider to get you a pointer...

As for the second question: no, there isn't an API for TF. But this is on my personal wishlist also, so planning to work on that in the comming week(s) (but planning stuff is kind of hard lately, still not finished a cloudstack provider which is actually a pretty simple peace of work ;)

And no clue if an API entry point fits the design view/goal of mitchellh, so no clue is that would even be merged back into TF...

svanharmelen thanks for the info.

svanharmelen There's a piece that I'm looking for, for my technology stack. This would be something similar to 'fleet', but for multi-cloud, and with pluggable / programmable scheduling logic.

Before I go and re-invent the wheel, I am researching to see if something like that exists, and if not - what's the closest 'relative' which I could maybe modify

If you have any ideas or thoughts on this, please let me know

Right now I'm looking at JClouds + code, or fleet + changes

is it common for a timeout to occur when trying to provision an rds resource? i've had success with one out of a dozen or so attempts.

2 things I don't understand about the terraform vix provider. Still not clear to me if I need to recompile terraform to use the provider. The other thing I don't understand is do I have to create a "box" to use the provider?
