Now begins the recovery and the slog back to “normal.” It does not matter if it was your first, third, or even fifth AWS re:Invent experience.

Notification Center: Receive notifications on your Spot console

Notifications help us keep track of everything going on, anywhere and anytime. Until today, Spot provided a tool for configuring notifications on events that occur in your spot account’s resources. This tool allows users to create, manage, and register to notification policies and choose from which integration to receive notifications (email, Slack, webhook, and SNS). And with all that goodness, we are here to improve your experience even more!

How to set custom policy conditions in your Spot resources

The condition feature allows users with policy modification access to create conditions within the policy.
