Google already does preemptive VMs where an instance can go down if it's needed elsewhere. It's something you can design your services to handle easily, if you aren't already doing so.
Why wouldn't cloud providers be aware of how long a specific CPU has been up and plan around it? Also, do cloud providers generally never reboot their systems?
