    Hello lijiann,

    Thank you for the feedback.

    The scenario describes a system with predictable periods of high usage, particularly during sales events and holiday seasons. In such cases, Spot Instances are a suitable solution for handling temporary and high-capacity compute demands in a cost-effective manner. They are ideal when the extra capacity required is not constant but occurs in scheduled bursts, allowing the company to take advantage of lower-cost, short-term compute resources. This is especially effective when the base workload is already handled by a more stable and committed pricing option, such as Compute Savings Plans or Reserved Instances.

    For more information, please refer to these:

    I hope this helps! Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Regards,
    JR @ Tutorials Dojo
