using spot instances with dask.distributed

Question

Does dask.distributed support using ec2 spot instances with dask-ec2? I didn't see an option to specify for that on http://distributed.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ec2.html

Answer 1

It doesn't, and dask-ec2 itself isn't supported anymore. The Dask maintainers recommend the following alternatives:

• dask-cloudprovider -- OSS cloud deployment
• dask-helm and dask-kubernetes -- kubernetes support
• coiled and saturncloud -- enterprise cloud deployment
