AWS has spot instances which are roughly ~1/10th the price of the regular EC2 instances. Anything equivalent here?

  There are discounts if your instances can be pre-empted: https://cloud.google.com/preemptible-vms/ https://cloud.google.com/preemptible-vms/. The pricing isn't variable like EC2 spot instances, however.

    From the site: > You cannot attach GPUs to preemptible instances. GPUs do not receive sustained use discounts. So sorry, no.

      The question didn't even mention GPUs, and there's no reason that what you mention can't change in the future. It was a pointer.
