<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear all, <br></div><br></div>today I tried to add a spot instance node to a cluster with the following command:<br><div><div><div>

In the end I had to cancel the program because I had to leave for the day. <br></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in">What is causing the program to wait for open spot request to become active? Is it because of the spot bid? Should I change the spot bid?</p>
