Hi<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m wondering if anyone has had experience running Galaxy using the Amazon &quot;spot&quot; EC2 instances? These instances are charged based on a bid placed by the user, and only run when the bid exceeds exceeds the current spot price. In other words, you pay a significantly reduced rate for cloud capacity but it runs intermittently. This is OK for certain applications but I&#39;m not sure how that will work for Galaxy. Specifically, I&#39;m interested in using Galaxy for Tophat analysis of RNA seq datasets. Any insight that anyone has will be helpful. Thanks!</div>
