On: The Cost Savings Of Netflix's Internal Spot Market

Well yes, but the elegance here is how they layered their scheduler to be on top of scheduling the resources they paid for at AWS with a meta-scheduler, which when they originally did this was rather novel in the consumer market.

No, the underlying instances were reserved. It reduces to the same problem as scheduling on bare metal.

So, are you saying this is simplistic.?

What is your solution.?

[brucephillips → samstave]

It's not simplistic. It's simple. And a fine solution.

[samstave → brucephillips]

Ah yes, good correction of the statement.

I think we both agree, just that I was more clumsy with my language.

Thanks
