dedicated agent cause ec2 instance not to terminate when idle

[Krishna Avala]

Hi,

we are seeing two issues

1)images will be in idle state for 24hrs plus

2)some agents will not start new instances when builds are placed

below is out auto instance config

Automatic elastic instance management

Bamboo will automatically manage your elastic instances based on the following criteria:

• Bamboo will shut down elastic instances which have been idle for more than 5 minutes.
• A maximum of 5 elastic instances can be started each minute.
• New elastic instances will be started when all of the following conditions have been met:
  • There is at least 1 build in a queue.
  • There is at least 1 build in a queue that are executable on elastic images.
  • The average time builds have been waiting in a queue is at least 1 minute.
  • The number of elastic instances on your AWS account that are not controlled by Bamboo does not exceed 1,000.

please advise
