#3We normally utilize spots with Spotinst + Elasticbeanstalk. Our billing looked great ever since.
This solution looks good, yet only applies to single instance scenarios. I presume this kind of thinking might move forward with EFS + chroot for an actual scalable solution that cannot be ran on Elasticbeanstalk.

#4If you don't care about reliability, why not just get a cheap and powerful VPS? Paying $90/month for that machine is madness. I pay $6/month for 6GB RAM, 4 cores, 50GB disk.

#5TLDR: Attach EBS volume and use that to store Docker containers.
I suppose it's a decent solution if you don't want to deal with prefixes.

Where? I'm using Digital Ocean and it'd be way more expensive for that kind of configuration.

#9Wouldn't it be simpler to have the smallest possible instance run an NFS server? This would also have an additional bonus of scalability.
Edit: or use AWS EFS
