Julian Sommer 87608a3b52 docs: undeclare anything the platform could plausibly build
Host reservations, ECR image scanning and the flow-logs integration template
were declared not applicable, and the reserved instance family with them. None
of those are ruled out: reservations and scheduled instances can be mocked over
capacity reservations the way spot instances already are, scanning needs only a
scanner behind the API, and the template needs CloudFormation.

What stays is what the platform cannot have: retired AWS features, operations
whose content is an AWS price or counterparty, and AWS-hosted services with
nothing behind them here.

EC2 API Coverage

Overview

Spinifex implements 125 operations in the EC2 2016-11-15 API model.

Spot Instances Are a Mock

Spot Instance Requests are a mock over the on-demand RunInstances path. A request synchronously launches real VMs on the operator's own compute and is then reported active and fulfilled. There is no spot market: no bidding, no price rejection, no interruption and no reclamation, and instances are never taken back.

Notes

  1. These report performance across AWS's own global network between its regions and zones.
  2. Carrier gateways route to a telecommunications carrier's 5G network in an AWS Wavelength Zone.
  3. Reporting an instance as impaired files a report with AWS support about AWS hardware.
  4. EC2-Classic is the pre-VPC network AWS retired in 2022. Every instance here is in a VPC.
  5. FPGA images are built and ingested through AWS's own AFI pipeline for its F1 instances.
  6. These switched resource IDs between the short and long forms during AWS's 2016 migration, which has long since finished.
  7. Product codes belong to AWS Marketplace, which has no equivalent here.
  8. Elastic Graphics was retired by AWS, and attached nothing but an AWS-hosted accelerator while it existed.
  9. The Reserved Instance Marketplace resells a reservation to another AWS customer, so AWS is the counterparty.
  10. On owned hardware there is no spot-to-on-demand price differential, so any figure would be invented.
