New Amazon EC2 Spot Console Now Supports Spot Fleet and Spot Blocks

Today, we are introducing a redesigned EC2 Spot Requests console, which now supports Spot fleet and Spot blocks, features which simplify and streamline how you use Amazon EC2 Spot instances. Previously, Spot fleet and blocks were available via the AWS CLI and SDK tools only. Spot blocks allow you to request Amazon EC2 Spot instances for 1 to 6 hours at a time to avoid being interrupted while your job completes. Spot fleet simplifies bidding by allowing you to select the number of vCPUs you.
