Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked TeamCity build log and artifacts, then read pkg/cmd/roachtest/README.md and the cluster_creation roachtest entry point. Confirm how AWS Spot capacity failures are handled and review the 243-comment thread for any agreed direction. Done is not defined by the issue, so the expected behavior must be established before implementation.
