Spot pricing thus enables the cloud provider to make efficient use of cloud resources and, at the same time, allows users to enjoy cloud resources at a reduced rate. This auction setting gives rise to two important questions: (1) How should the cloud provider set the spot price? and (2) What is the right bidding strategy for the users? This paper tackles both of these questions, and makes the following contributions:
