I don’t think I’ve ever had my instances taken out from under me when I set the max price to the same amount as a normal instance.

That said, when we exceed capacity we cannot boot any more instances, that’s definitely true.

I thought this was true, but I have had spot instances go away even when going above reserved instance pricing.
Just don’t plan on playing in Black Friday when every box on AWS is tied up by one retailer or another.
