Is this really viable in long term? Won't the spot price increase if more customers bid for the resources? Can Amazon just change its pricing conditions to make this obsolete if the startup gets more customers and Amazon actually starts loosing money?

Amazon makes money as they monetize their otherwise unused resources. More usage -> higher bidding, better prices, not a 90% gap with on-demands.
