Try to quickly compile what is needed for a spot instance
1) SELF DISCIPLINE IN TERMS OF COST CONTROL ... it can get pretty quick expensive is uncontrolled !!!
2) Amazon account for AWS
3) Login into the console: http://console.aws.amazon.com/
4) Choose EC2
5) Define SSH key pair (on your own or from the console) ; cant't snapshot due to my keys shown
Suggest to use the SSH key for password less connection via ssh -i
6) Define security group (basically allow ports and IP)
I have four group ; you might need one (e.g. BOINC-style)
here I allow port 22 for SSH, 31416 for BOINC client, 3389 I forgot and 36330 for F@H (yes, I sometimes use EC2 for them too); in the source field I have my fixed IP address nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/32 to keep you guys away from my instance
