Oh shoot if there's no easy endpoint to query then that makes sense. Could do something like maintain a simplified price list somewhere in Canonical land that can be queried, but that's more of a pain.

Alternative could be preferring certain classes of machine (take a t3 if it exists) or preferring certain hardware (take something that only has cpu/mem and no storage/gpu/...), but then you're stuck maintaining that list.

If it isn't called out somewhere in the docs, maybe a warning would be good to add so people don't get costs they don't expect.

fwiw I don't think aws is even consistent on their spot prices. The prices [here](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot/pricing/) don't match the prices in the ones in the Console->Spot Requests->Price history. Not sure if I'm comparing the wrong things but it seems odd
