Background: I am using jClouds to create and maintain a cluster. My cluster uses spot instances.
As I understand it, jClouds is polling AWS to see whether the requested nodes have been created. This polling, however, happens too frequently for AWS - which blocks these requests returning an error. jClouds misinterprets this error as a failure to create, but leaves the spot request - which is eventually fulfilled. The created nodes are not configured by jClouds, and are left orphaned. In my case - this endlessly creates more and more nodes. ———————— 1) Is it possible to specify polling interval for new Spot instance requests ? How ? 2) Is it possible to ignore certain errors ? This is a blocker for me, so any help would be appreciated. (Y)
