Running CloudBees Core on EKS: Best Practices & Amazon EC2 Spot Instances
summary
CloudBees Core runs on EKS using AWS EC2 Spot Instances with a QuickStart that deploys in ~45 minutes, partitions the cluster into masters, durable agents and spot nodes, and uses node selectors and tolerations to pin jobs to the spot partition. Spot works with Auto Scaling Groups mixing multiple instance types across spot pools diversify blast radius, pays market price, and gives two-minute termination notices; 95% of spot terminations are customer-initiated and customers scale to hundreds of thousands to over a million vCPUs successfully.
