Appears to be an uncaught exception when the AWS spot price query fails.

History

#1 Updated by Kevin Retzke about 4 years ago

For quick fix and to help with debugging modified probe on fermicloud370 to catch exceptions within the instance loop and print a stack trace; now only failing instances will not be sent rather than terminating the entire run.

There appears to be a bug in boto3 causing this exception:

Quick fix is working, losing under 10 records (out of ~1500) per run with the error.
