Uhh, Google will terminate preemptible instances whenever they need the resources as well. Hence the name, "preemptible."

- doh 10y agoTrue. What I meant is that the servers are going to be terminated in 24 hours, even if they don't need the resources atm. AWS doesn't terminate them up until they don't need them. Also I personally find much easier to understand is the pricing. It's very consistent and simple. Preemptible servers are discounted by 80% from the regular ones. On AWS the price changes, also they only offer older generations while GCE offers any type at the same discount.
