TLDR
This paper studies various check pointing schemes that can be used with spot instances and devise some algorithms for check pointing scheme on top of application-centric resource provisioning framework that increase the reliability while reducing the cost significantly.Abstract:
Amazon's spot instances allow customers to bid on unused Amazon EC2 capacity and run those instances for as long as their bid exceeds the current spot price. Customers may expect their services at lower cost with spot instances compared to on-demand or reserved. However, the reliability is compromised since the instances providing the service may become unavailable at any time. In this paper, we study various check pointing schemes that can be used with spot instances. Also we devise some algorithms for check pointing scheme on top of application-centric resource provisioning framework that increase the reliability while reducing the cost significantly.read more

Monetary Cost-Aware Checkpointing and Migration on Amazon Cloud Spot Instances
TL;DR: Trace-based simulations show that several adaptive checkpointing schemes can reduce significantly both monetary costs and task completion times of computation on spot instance, and work migration can improve task completion in the midst of failures while maintaining low monetary costs.
