Hi Can we run datahub on EKS with spot instances? We will use RDS, Elasticsearch and Managed kafka for other components. This question is only specific to datahub main components (GMS, MAE Consumer, MCE Consumer (optional), and Frontend.) Can we run these datahub main components on EKS spot instances or it requires only on-demand instances?

Should be fine to run on spot. AFAIK, gms and frontend are not stateful so if you get a spot interruption notice, you should be fine if they restart. The actions container could be in the middle of a pipeline run though, i’m not 100% sure if it would restart the pipeline when it resumes, but it likely would.
