Spot Placement Score now includes Local Zones

Today, AWS announces support for AWS Local Zones in Spot placement score, helping you identify locations where your Spot capacity request is most likely to succeed. Spot placement score evaluates your target capacity and compute requirements and returns scores for AWS Regions or Availability Zones.

Previously, Spot placement scores excluded local zone capacity information when reporting zonal and regional scores. Now, you can optionally request local zones to be included in the zonal and regional score responses giving you a broader view of your Spot capacity options.

You can use Spot placement score through EC2 Spot Console, AWS CLI, or SDK. To learn more about Spot placement score see Spot placement score documentation.
