I run a small CI system which starts relatively beefy preemptible instances for jobs. Normally those instances are terminated by the job scheduler as soon as there's nothing more to do. But it's a great peace of mind knowing they can't run for more than 24h if my job scheduler screws something up for whatever reason. I see it as a feature rather an a limitation for my use case.
- kevincox 5y agoYes, but they could just provide a flag `maxLifetime` which defaults to `24h` but can be set to 0. (It can even only accept those two values) Instead they created a whole new API for basically the same feature.
- willcipriano 5y agoCreating a new api has greater "impact".
- andoma 5y agoThis would be superior of course. Ideally being able to limit maximum runtime down to one hours.
