Fixes #511
Problem: Skyplane VMs tend to be left running for extended periods in the case where there is an exception in the CLI. Although egress fees dominate the cost of transfers, VM costs remain significant. To improve cost-effectiveness of Skyplane, we introduce a new option to control scheduling on spot instances.
Implementation stages:
{aws, azure, gcp}_cloud_provider.py
, we expose ause_spot_instances
