How does this work? From the documentation it's clear that AWS credentials are required. Which permissions are necessary? This leads me to the assumption that the SpotML cli creates with boto3 the necessary resource (EBS Volume, spot instances, S3 bucket) on my AWS account. If this is the case, how does billing work if this is "just" a cli?

That's right it will need aws credentials with access to create EBS volumes, S3 Bucket, spawn instances, etc. In addition to the "cli" a cloud service constantly monitors the progress of the Jobs(by registering the pid when launching it), and the instance states. So the billing will be based on the hours of training run and $ saved.
