Details

I repeated the 1000 instances test with t2.nano instances. AWS provider spun up around 5000 instances

My initial assumption was it happened because the registration takes long, but it's not seconds-fast even in the case of one instance. However, it doesn't create additional instances for workerPools with 1 or 10 instances. Let's make sure of the reason it happened

Status: NEW → ASSIGNED

The workerscanner fails to update the amount of running instances correctly. In the logs, I see seen: 44 and then lots of RequestLimitExceeded errors. It isn't an issue for 100 instances, so apparently 1000 is just a bit too much

Assigned to bstack as he's now working on changing how the estimator works

I believe this is solved for now. If we see things like this again we can take some more radical approaches to keeping everything in agreement.
