The situation has been getting better wrt Spark jobs running on spot instances in EMR recently (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ReleaseGuide/emr-spark-configure.html) so it might be interesting to support them.

This would require us to move to AMI >= 5.11.0.

It would definitly be worth considering adding support for Spot Blocks (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-ec2-spot-blocks-for-defined-duration-workloads/) and instance fleets in general in the next release. The cost savings are pretty substantial if you have a job that has consistent timing.
