smoothening

When EC2 Spot, Amazon's spare capacity compute at a discount, switched from bidding to max price. Cost-per-hour and instance interruptions both got smoother. Spot users were, and still are, as smooth as possible. Coined by an appreciative (and marginally hilarious) customer.

After The Smoothening, EC2 Spot customers saved even more on their cloud computing without even trying.
