Is there a trick to spot instances on aws? In the past when I tried to spot instance a gpu it was never available.

Aws isn't the only one doing spot instances

Maybe try different regions?

Try multiple regions and zones. There are peaks and troughs in availability, most notably the weekend is a good time to spot. There are some sites that help you do this / scripts online that use the aws cli to check for you.
