  nodus spot up h200x8 --max-price 12 --wait
  nodus spot up h100x1 --ssh-key ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub --wait
```

### Options

```plaintext
  -h, --help                     help for up
      --idempotency-key string   Stable key to retry the same logical request across invocations
      --local-wait duration      Local capacity wait before fresh storage elsewhere (0s–15m, whole seconds) (default 5m0s)
      --max-attempts int         Maximum accepted startup attempts, including the first (1–10; --retry-startup) (default 3)
      --max-price float          Maximum USD per complete node-hour
      --placement string         Workspace placement: local_first (default), local_only or cheapest
      --poll duration            Time between capacity/readiness checks (default 30s)
      --regions strings          Allowed Nodus locations or region classes, as shown by spot prices (comma-separated)
      --resume                   Resume --state with its original request, attempt limit and deadline
      --retry-startup            Retry confirmed pre-SSH capacity failures after cleanup; requires --wait and --state

      --wait                     Wait for capacity and SSH readiness
      --workspace string         Canonical Spot Workspace ID whose retained storage mounts at /workspace
