This PR is a WIP, and should only be considered for merging after #888
Occasionally the AWS spot price will spike for a number of hours, causing the resurrection of BOSH deployed spot jobs to fail.
The PR implements a simple but effective way to favor uptime over cost savings - have BOSH "fallback" to creating a regular on-demand instance when spot creation failed AND the
spot_ondemand_fallback
manifest property is set totrue
.This enables resurrection to succeed during the spot price spike. At the end of the spot price spike, the operator can manually terminate the on-demand nodes, and the BOSH's will resurrect them as spot instances again.
