The text discusses the potential benefits and challenges of using AWS Spot Instances in CI/CD workloads, particularly when integrated with Buildkite Pipelines. Spot Instances offer significant cost savings and scalability advantages as they allow more instances for the same budget compared to On-Demand Instances. However, they come with the risk of being terminated unexpectedly, which can lead to duplicated work and inefficiencies. The text provides strategies to mitigate these interruptions, such as reducing job times, creating checkpoints to save progress, and configuring retry mechanisms to ensure continuity despite disruptions. Buildkite Pipelines facilitate these processes with features that allow automatic retries and checkpointing, thus enhancing the resilience and reliability of CI/CD pipelines. The integration aims to improve the developer experience by optimizing task execution despite the inherent instability of Spot Instances.
