When using Spot instances with EC2 tags to be applied, sometimes slave creation fails when trying to update Spot Request tag. I guess that's because the Spot request is not yet registered.
When this occurs, the slave is not created on Jenkins side but the corresponding Spot request is. This cause an instance leak.

Here's the stack:
