Is there a Minimum Uptime for Elastic Bamboo Instances?

Matthew Hillier1

We have setup our Jira Studio with Elastic Bamboo, and have eveything working, however now that it has settled in, we have noticed that instances are always up a minimum of 50-55 minutes. The automatic shutdown, which is specified as 3 minutes after end of job for Elastic Agents and 120 seconds for the Elastic Instance, doesn't seem to be applied to the instances until after this 50 minute "minimum uptime".

Is there a setting I am missing or is this a default that we cannot change?

There's no setting.

With elastic instances, you pay the same amount for every started hour, so it makes no sense to prematurely terminate an instance - it may still become useful and is already paid for the whole hour anyway.

Yes, you are charged for every started hour: if the instance runs 1h1m it still counts as 2 hours.

The only exception to this rule are spot instances terminated by Amazon - then you pay only for the full hours of uptime.

Ah, that makes sense. So, just for clarification, I'm assuming that instances are charged by elapsed-hour and not clock-hours?

Got it! Many thanks

That's not how EC2 works. You get billed on a per-hourly basis, for the maximum number of simulltaneous instances running during that hour. Therefore, if you shut down an instance, and start a new instance, within the space of one hour, you only get billed for one hour-instance.

I would like to be able to get my linux instance to shut down when idle, so that the Windows instance can come online and do the windows build, but currently this isn't possible.
