Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

The linked posts cover automating AWS EC2 spot instances with AutoScaling to cut costs, and a note about working in Durham, NC. The comments only link or mention them and do not judge the writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. I've got https://github.com/voltagex/junkcode/tree/master/Python/spot... and https://github.com/voltagex/junkcode/tree/master/CSharp/spot... but I was never really happy enough with either to take them past my junkcode folder. If I could make the Python one work a bit better, I'd probably use it with Ansible - http://snappishproductions.com/2014/03/24/Spot-Instances-Wit...
