targetSpotCapacity
The target capacity of Spot units for the instance fleet, which determines how many Spot Instances to provision. When the instance fleet launches, Amazon EMR tries to provision Spot Instances as specified by InstanceTypeConfig. Each instance configuration has a specified WeightedCapacity
. When a Spot instance is provisioned, the WeightedCapacity
units count toward the target capacity. Amazon EMR provisions instances until the target capacity is totally fulfilled, even if this results in an overage. For example, if there are 2 units remaining to fulfill capacity, and Amazon EMR can only provision an instance with a WeightedCapacity
of 5 units, the instance is provisioned, and the target capacity is exceeded by 3 units. You can use InstanceFleet$ProvisionedSpotCapacity to determine the Spot capacity units that have been provisioned for the instance fleet.
If not specified or set to 0, only On-Demand Instances are provisioned for the instance fleet. At least one of TargetSpotCapacity
and TargetOnDemandCapacity
should be greater than 0. For a master instance fleet, only one of TargetSpotCapacity
and TargetOnDemandCapacity
can be specified, and its value must be 1.
