Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to systems and methods of providing automatic scaling pure-spot clusters. Such dusters may be dynamically rebalanced for further costs savings. In accordance with some methods of the present invention may include a method of utilizing a cluster in a big data cloud computing environment where instances may include reserved on-demand instances for a set price and on-demand spot instances that may be bid on by a user, the method including: creating one or more stable nodes, comprising spot instances with a bid price above a price for an equivalent on-demand instance; creating one or more volatile nodes, comprising spot instances with a bid price below a price for an equivalent on-demand instance; using one or more of the stable nodes as a master node; and using the volatile nodes as slave nodes.
