Rackspace Spot Pricing

Read this before you bid

• Timestamp. Prices are Rackspace's published snapshot at the moment shown above — the feed refreshes continuously, and auction prices move whenever bids do. What you see here can lag the market by minutes; the console shows the price that actually binds your bid.
• Percentiles. p20/p50/p80 are Rackspace's published price percentiles over its recent sampling window. Rough bid guidance: a standing bid at the p80 level would have kept your node through ~80% of that window; bidding the bare market price wins now but gets preempted at the next uptick.
• Floor. Every class has a minimum bid of $0.001/hr — many classes in the less-contested regions sit at or near it for long stretches.
• Source. This page reads Rackspace's public pricing object directly from your browser (the same data the Spot console's pricing page uses; it's also referenced by their official Go SDK). No affiliation with Rackspace — verify in the Spot console before relying on a number.
• Bare metal is excluded — Rackspace no longer provisions the bare-metal classes, so only virtual server classes are shown.
