Looking through our history, it looks like us-east-1 preëmptible VMs were a flat 30% the cost of non-preëmptible VMs. So in the worst-case scenario, we'll be paying 10% more for the same product, but also potentially saving up to 19% in periods where GCP has excess capacity.

You'll be paying over 30% more in the worst case, just fyi.

What kind of instance was that? For A100 servers we got something like 5x price difference.

The doc says: > Preemptible VM instances are available at much lower price—a 60-91% discount—compared to the price of standard VMs.

Maybe you're using huge disks, those don't get discounts on preemptible instances from what I remember.
