Resolved! Are there any scenarios where it doesn't make sense to use Spot Instances?

It seems like using spot instances make a lot of sense for cost savings. But are there any risks to using them? Or things to consider before enabling them?

On AWS, to further improve the chance of acquiring spot instances, you can use the newly GA'd feature Fleet instance types: https://docs.databricks.com/compute/aws-fleet-instances.html
