Autopilot Bids

Autopilot Bids creates and manages your spot bids for you, so you get the capacity you need without the manual work.

How it works

You provide Autopilot three things:

• Total vCPU you want.

• Memory per vCPU (any, 2, 4, or 8 GB).

• Budget per hour for the whole pool.

Autopilot turns your budget into a per-vCPU price ceiling (budget divided by total vCPU). It picks the cheapest server classes in the region that meet your memory ratio and fit under that ceiling, then places bids so the total vCPU adds up to your target.

Enabling Autopilot Bids

Autopilot Bids is currently available in Create Custom Cloudspace only.

For a new cloudspace

1. Select your region.

2. Under Configure Your Server Pools, choose Autopilot.

3. Specify your capacity requirements.

4. Optionally set min/max vCPU per node to bound individual node sizes.

Labels and annotations are supported. Autoscaling is not supported for Autopilot pools.

For an existing cloudspace

1. Open Cloudspace Actions → Edit Cloudspaces.

2. Click Add another Server Pool.
