@d - Are you asking me to take an action here?

As I mentioned in the [original comment](https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh/pull/509#issuecomment-33284205); I can't think of "lower impact" way to make the tests pass; and am very open to better options.

In order to use spot instances, we must update the AWS-SDK for `bosh_aws_cpi`. (the spot api calls in 1.8.5 fail with the current AWS EC2 API).

Perhaps we could update the AWS-SDK for just  `bosh_aws_cpi`?  

Is it possible / desirable to have different BOSH components use different AWS-SDK versions?
