get_spot_placement_scores#
- EC2.Client.get_spot_placement_scores(**kwargs)#
Calculates the Spot placement score for a Region or Availability Zone based on the specified target capacity and compute requirements.
You can specify your compute requirements either by using
InstanceRequirementsWithMetadata
and letting Amazon EC2 choose the optimal instance types to fulfill your Spot request, or you can specify the instance types by usingInstanceTypes
.For more information, see Spot placement score in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

MaxSpotPriceAsPercentageOfOptimalOnDemandPrice (integer) –
[Price protection] The price protection threshold for Spot Instances, as a percentage of an identified On-Demand price. The identified On-Demand price is the price of the lowest priced current generation C, M, or R instance type with your specified attributes.

Currently, this parameter only supports CPU performance as a baseline performance factor. For more information, see Performance protection in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
Cpu (dict) –
The CPU performance to consider, using an instance family as the baseline reference.
References (list) –
Specify an instance family to use as the baseline reference for CPU performance. All instance types that match your specified attributes will be compared against the CPU performance of the referenced instance family, regardless of CPU manufacturer or architecture differences.

Currently, only one instance family can be specified in the list.
(dict) –
Specify an instance family to use as the baseline reference for CPU performance. All instance types that match your specified attributes will be compared against the CPU performance of the referenced instance family, regardless of CPU manufacturer or architecture.
Note
Currently, only one instance family can be specified in the list.
InstanceFamily (string) –

Note
Ensure that you specify the correct value for the instance family. The instance family is everything before the period (
.
) in the instance type name. For example, in the instance typec6i.large
, the instance family isc6i
, notc6
. For more information, see Amazon EC2 instance type naming conventions in Amazon EC2 Instance Types.The following instance families are not supported for performance protection:

Response Structure
(dict) –
SpotPlacementScores (list) –
The Spot placement score for the top 10 Regions or Availability Zones, scored on a scale from 1 to 10. Each score reflects how likely it is that each Region or Availability Zone will succeed at fulfilling the specified target capacity
at the time of the Spot placement score request. A score of
10
means that your Spot capacity request is highly likely to succeed in that Region or Availability Zone.If you request a Spot placement score for Regions, a high score assumes that your fleet request will be configured to use all Availability Zones and the
capacity-optimized
allocation strategy. If you request a Spot placement score for Availability Zones, a high score assumes that your fleet request will be configured to use a single Availability Zone and thecapacity-optimized
allocation strategy.Different Regions or Availability Zones might return the same score.
Note
The Spot placement score serves as a recommendation only. No score guarantees that your Spot request will be fully or partially fulfilled.
(dict) –

capacity-optimized
allocation strategy is used and that all of the Availability Zones in the Region can be used.Region (string) –
The Region.
AvailabilityZoneId (string) –
The Availability Zone.
Score (integer) –
The placement score, on a scale from
1
to10

indicates that your Spot request is highly likely to succeed in this Region or Availability Zone. A score of1
indicates that your Spot request is not likely to succeed.
NextToken (string) –
The token to include in another request to get the next page of items. This value is
null
when there are no more items to return.
