ec2_describe_spot_price_history: Describes the Spot price history

Description

Describes the Spot price history. For more information, see Spot Instance pricing history in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.

When you specify a start and end time, this operation returns the prices of the instance types within the time range that you specified and the time when the price changed. The price is valid within the time period that you specified; the response merely indicates the last time that the price changed.

Arguments

Filters

One or more filters.

availability-zone - The Availability Zone for which prices should be returned.
instance-type - The type of instance (for example, m3.medium).
product-description - The product description for the Spot price (Linux/UNIX | Red Hat Enterprise Linux | SUSE Linux | Windows | Linux/UNIX (Amazon VPC) | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Amazon VPC) | SUSE Linux (Amazon VPC) | Windows (Amazon VPC)).
spot-price - The Spot price. The value must match exactly (or use wildcards; greater than or less than comparison is not supported).
timestamp - The time stamp of the Spot price history, in UTC format (for example, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). You can use wildcards (* and ?). Greater than or less than comparison is not supported.

AvailabilityZone

Filters the results by the specified Availability Zone.

DryRun

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

EndTime

The date and time, up to the current date, from which to stop retrieving the price history data, in UTC format (for example, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ).

InstanceTypes

Filters the results by the specified instance types.

MaxResults

The maximum number of results to return in a single call. Specify a value between 1 and 1000. The default value is 1000. To retrieve the remaining results, make another call with the returned NextToken value.

NextToken

The token for the next set of results.

ProductDescriptions

Filters the results by the specified basic product descriptions.

StartTime

The date and time, up to the past 90 days, from which to start retrieving the price history data, in UTC format (for example, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ).
