Hello!
Microsoft has finally launched the SPOT VMs, which we already had in other clouds such as AWS and GCP. These virtual machines provide access to unused computational resources in Azure and also large discounts. However, they cannot be reserved and Azure can interrupt them at any time to use its resources. The SPOT VMs are ideal for:
- Workloads that can support interruptions
- Development and testing
- Applications that do not store state
- Short-lived tasks
- Batch jobs
