Fallback to slower(or pv) nodes past a certain watermark: eg m3.large, m1.large, m1.xlarge (or m1.small for tests)..or faster but older c1.xlarge nodes which are cheap on spot

We should prefer running on faster nodes when it makes sense. However it makes sense to use slower nodes when: * There is low spot node availability * We could place limits on the number of fancy(ie expensive) instances and spawn the rest as cheap(slower) instances. This would be handy at peak times (eg above our stable load) to still make progress at handling the queue without blowing our budget * Ondemand prices for these aren't as attractive, but it may work out that running jobs on these slower nodes may still be more cost-effective than on faster nodes...in this case it might make sense to switch our ondemand nodes to these slower ones with the expectation that these are nodes of last resort to make up for dips in spot capacity
Summary: Fallback to slower nodes past a certain watermark: eg m3.large, m1.large, m1.xlarge (or m1.small for tests) → Fallback to slower(or pv) nodes past a certain watermark: eg m3.large, m1.large, m1.xlarge (or m1.small for tests)..or faster but older c1.xlarge nodes which are cheap on spot
