[StarCluster] adding spot instances without using starcluster commands

[rishi]

Hi Rajat,
Thanks for prompt reply.
addnode command is slow and spot instances added lose communication to sge
master frequently ,not sure why.

I suppose doing it without addnode will give more understanding and better
control.

Please guide/suggest a way to achieve this.
