3 Spot instances can take a long time to come up and may not come
4 up at all depending on the current AWS load and your max spot bid
5 price.
6
7 For now, StarCluster will wait indefinitely until all instances come up.
8 If this takes too long, you can cancel the start command using CTRL-C and
9 manually wait for the spot instances to come up by periodically checking
10 the output of:
11
12 $ starcluster listspots
13
14 Once all spot requests in the '%(launch_group)s' launch group are in an
15 'active' state and have an instance_id (e.g. i-99999) associated with them
16 re-execute this same start command with the --no-create option:
17
18 $ starcluster %(cmd)s
19
20 This will use the existing spot instances launched previously and
21 continue starting the cluster.
