describe_spot_price_history#

EC2.Client.describe_spot_price_history(**kwargs)#

Describes the Spot price history. For more information, see Spot Instance pricing history in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

When you specify a start and end time, the operation returns the prices of the instance types within that time range. It also returns the last price change before the start time, which is the effective price as of the start time.

Parameters:

Filters (list) –
One or more filters.
- availability-zone - The Availability Zone for which prices should be returned.
- instance-type - The type of instance (for example, m3.medium).
- product-description - The product description for the Spot price ( Linux/UNIX | Red Hat Enterprise Linux | SUSE Linux | Windows | Linux/UNIX (Amazon VPC) | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Amazon VPC) | SUSE Linux (Amazon VPC) | Windows (Amazon VPC)).
- spot-price - The Spot price. The value must match exactly (or use wildcards; greater than or less than comparison is not supported).
- timestamp - The time stamp of the Spot price history, in UTC format (for example, YYYY-MM-DD*T*HH:MM:SS*Z). You can use wildcards ( and ?). Greater than or less than comparison is not supported.
- (dict) –
  
  A filter name and value pair that is used to return a more specific list of results from a describe operation. Filters can be used to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as tags, attributes, or IDs.
  
  If you specify multiple filters, the filters are joined with an AND, and the request returns only results that match all of the specified filters.
  - Name (string) –
    
    The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.
  - Values (list) –
    
    The filter values. Filter values are case-sensitive. If you specify multiple values for a filter, the values are joined with an OR, and the request returns all results that match any of the specified values.
    - (string) –
AvailabilityZone (string) – Filters the results by the specified Availability Zone.
DryRun (boolean) – Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.
EndTime (datetime) – The date and time, up to the current date, from which to stop retrieving the price history data, in UTC format (for example, YYYY-MM-DD*T*HH:MM:*SS*Z).
InstanceTypes (list) –
Filters the results by the specified instance types.
- (string) –
MaxResults (integer) – The maximum number of items to return for this request. To get the next page of items, make another request with the token returned in the output. For more information, see Pagination.
NextToken (string) – The token returned from a previous paginated request. Pagination continues from the end of the items returned by the previous request.
ProductDescriptions (list) –
Filters the results by the specified basic product descriptions.
- (string) –
StartTime (datetime) – The date and time, up to the past 90 days, from which to start retrieving the price history data, in UTC format (for example, YYYY-MM-DD*T*HH:MM:*SS*Z).

Response Structure

(dict) –

Contains the output of DescribeSpotPriceHistory.
- NextToken (string) –
  
  The token to include in another request to get the next page of items. This value is null when there are no more items to return.
- SpotPriceHistory (list) –
  
  The historical Spot prices.
  - (dict) –
    
    The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. We do not recommend using this parameter because it can lead to increased interruptions. If you do not specify this parameter, you will pay the current Spot price.
    
    Warning
    
    If you specify a maximum price, your instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify this parameter.
    - AvailabilityZone (string) –
      
      The Availability Zone.
    - InstanceType (string) –
      
      The instance type.
    - ProductDescription (string) –
      
      A general description of the AMI.
    - SpotPrice (string) –
      
      The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. We do not recommend using this parameter because it can lead to increased interruptions. If you do not specify this parameter, you will pay the current Spot price.
      
      Warning
      
      If you specify a maximum price, your instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify this parameter.
    - Timestamp (datetime) –
      
      The date and time the request was created, in UTC format (for example, YYYY-MM-DD*T*HH:MM:*SS*Z).

Examples
