Reminder: this is Show HN, so please try to be constructive.
However, there's at least a couple of things that matter here that aren't covered by "just use a preemptible node pool":
* SpotML configures checkpoints (yes this is easy, but next point)
* SpotML sends those checkpoints to a persistent volume (by default in GKE, you would not use a cluster-wide persistent volume claim, and instead only have a local ephemeral one, losing your checkpoint)
* SpotML seems to have logic around "retry on preemptible, and then switch to on-demand if needed" (you could do this on GKE by just having two pools, but it won't be as "directed")
- sitkack 5y agoLooks like SpotML is a fork of https://github.com/nimbo-sh/nimbo https://github.com/nimbo-sh/nimbo and https://spotty.cloud/ https://spotty.cloud/ This is a hustle to gauge interest (and collect emails) in a service that is a clone of nimbo.
