Spot VMs pricing

Spot VMs are highly affordable compute instances suitable for batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads that can withstand possible instance preemptions. Spot VMs offer the same machine types, options, and performance as regular instances while reducing your Compute Engine costs by up to 91%.

How Spot VM pricing works

Spot prices are variable and can change up to once every day, but provide discounts of up to 91% off of the corresponding default price for many machine types, GPUs, TPUs, and Local SSDs.

Prices adjust based on market trends and supply and demand for Spot VMs capacity. You pay the Spot price that is in effect when your instances are running. Pricing information is shared in advance as a courtesy and is subject to change. While we guarantee the price of any particular resource won't change more than once every day, you may be notified more frequently. To compare Spot prices to other rates, see the Compute Engine pricing page.

Prices listed are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, and do not reflect any enterprise negotiated pricing. To view your account’s specific Spot pricing history, you can export your Cloud Billing data to BigQuery.

General-purpose machine type family

General-purpose machine-types offer predefined and custom machine types in each region. Predefined machine types have a preset number of vCPUs and amount of memory, but are billed using the resource-based pricing model. Custom machine types are billed according to the resource-based pricing.

Not all machine types are available in all zones all the time. To ensure that a machine type is available when you need it, you can preemptively reserve the machine type in a certain zone. For information about reserving predefined machine types in a specific zone, see Reservations of Compute Engine zonal resources.

E2 machine types

E2 machine types do not offer sustained use discounts but provide larger savings directly through the on-demand and committed-use prices. E2 machine types provide consistently predictable pricing without the requirement to run a VM for a specific portion of the month.

E2 machine types are also available as shared-core VMs. For pricing information about E2 shared-core machine types, see E2 shared-core machine types.

E2 standard machine types

The following table shows the calculated cost for standard predefined machine types in the E2 machine family.

The total cost of running each accelerator-optimized machine type is shown in the following tables. For VMs that have custom memory options available, the default memory value is used in the calculation. These machine types are not eligible for sustained use discounts or flexible committed use discounts.

DWS Prices are variable, but are updated infrequently. You pay the price that is in effect when your instances are running. See Flex-start documentation and Calendar mode documentation to learn more.
