Note that Google Cloud offers preemptible instances, up to 70% cheaper than the normal ones.

It would be interesting to see Quizlet thoughts on GCP preemptible VMs vs AWS spot instances and why they think they are better (or not?), but that could be the subject of a whole different post.

Interesting. I did a quick search for "GCP spot instances" and didn't find anything. I'd be interested in a comparison too!
