Reduce Cloud Costs with Auction Driven Pricing: Rackspace Spot

Running Apache Airflow entirely on Spot instances isn’t the standard approach most teams take, but we decided to try something different on Kubernetes. Using Rackspace Spot’s auction-based market with lower preemption risk, this guide shows how an all-Spot setup can be both cost-efficient and practical to run.

We're excited to announce availability of Rook/Ceph as our next-generation Container Storage Interface (CSI) provider in Spot. A new StorageClass, ‘spot-ceph’ is now available in Spot’s IAD and ORD data-centers. Specifying this storage class when using PVCs will use the ceph-csi driver to mount your persistent volumes on managed Ceph clusters in Spot.
