Add an option to make the spot request non persistent
This would allow to have a "hard" deadline for the CloudRIG and reduce the cost if you forgot to stop it (just discovered à 170$ bill because my instance is running for 10 days :/)

IMHO, ideally there'd be a way for the instance to detect it's idle and shut itself off. Is there something that can be installed/run on the window image to make it do so?
Based on the parsec server installed on the instances, we should be able to detect inactivity (and may be send a notification to propose to terminate the instance). But this feature is more like the final security to ensure that your instance is not going to last more than X hours.
