Spot VMs

Affordable compute instances suitable for batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads. Spot VMs offer the same machine types, options, and performance as regular compute instances. If your applications are fault tolerant and can withstand possible instance preemptions, then Spot instances can reduce your Compute Engine costs by up to 91%.

What are Spot VMs

1:16

優點

Low-cost VMs

Predictable and low cost

Spot VMs are up to 91% more cost effective than regular instances. You get pricing stability with no more than once-a-month pricing changes and at least a 60% off guarantee.

Expand your batch processing

Speed up your compute-intensive workloads and reduce costs with spot instances. Throw Spot VMs at fault-tolerant workloads such as HPC, data and analytics, CI/CD, rendering/transcoding, testing, and more.

Get more from your containers

Containers are naturally stateless and fault tolerant, making them a great fit for Spot VMs. To run Spot VMs in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), simply type "--spot" in your cloud command and you're ready to go.

Enable it instantly

Simply add --provisioning-model=SPOT to the cloud command line and you're off to the races. With per-second billing, just shut down your VMs as soon as you're done.

Key Features

Low pricing

Spot VMs are priced up to 91% off regular instances. They show up on your bill separately so you'll see just how much you're saving.

Easy extendability

Attach GPUs and local SSDs to spot instances for additional performance and savings.

Graceful shutdown

Compute Engine gives you 30 seconds to shut down when you're preempted, letting you save your work in progress for later.

Large-scale computing

Spin up as many instances as you need and turn them off when you're done. Only pay for what you use.

Quickly reclaim capacity

Managed instance groups automatically recreate your instances when they're preempted (if capacity is available).

Control costs

Save even more by specifying a maximum run duration and define how instances clean up after themselves on preemption or exceeding the maximum run duration.
