EMR: How do I specify bid price as "OnDemandPrice" in instanceGroups configuration?

Please fill out the sections below to help us address your issue.

What issue did you see ? I am trying to submit a job flow on EMR to start a cluster. I want to set bid price as “OnDemandPrice” instead of USD amount as per the documentation here https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/emr.html#EMR.Client.run_job_flow

However, when I invoke run_job_flow() I get the following exception:

botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (ValidationException) when calling the RunJobFlow operation: The bid price is invalid. Revise the configuration and resubmit.

My configuration for the instanceGroups looks like this:

"InstanceGroups": [
            {
                "InstanceRole": "MASTER",
                "Market": "SPOT",
                "InstanceType": "r5d.16xlarge",
                "BidPrice": "OnDemandPrice",
                "InstanceCount": 1
            },
            {
                "InstanceRole": "CORE",
                "Market": "SPOT",
                "InstanceType": "r5d.16xlarge",
                "BidPrice": "OnDemandPrice",
                "InstanceCount": 5
            }
        ]

EMR Version: emr-6.2.0

Hi @shanfadnis,

Thanks for the additional information! I don’t see anything obvious that stands out as problematic, but I’ve reached out to the EMR team to get their thoughts on this. I’ll let you know as soon as I have an update!
