How to find available "2nd hand" AWS EC2 instances in the Reserved Instance Marketplace?
Using the AWS CLI, I run this command
call aws ec2 describe-reserved-instances-offerings --availability-zone us-east-1b --filters Name=marketplace,Values=true
https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/ec2/describe-reserved-instances-offerings.html
It takes forever to run (more than 5mins). The output is below. This seems to indicate there are only two 2nd hand reserved instances in the whole of us-east-1b? weird. I hope there's a bug, or a timeout, or something wrong with my command.
