Description

If a spot instance request, created through the compute service, has too low a price or insufficient capacity, etc, the spot instance request will get a fault code and fault message added, but will never actually switch out of the "open" state. As a result, the block-until-running logic just keeps going, since the spot-to-instance converter always returns a PENDING state.
