Yeah sorry I should have been more clear. Currently the ARM instances in GCP when you use them as spot basically never get interrupted. We’re big into GKE so use them as a preferred node group for interruptible pods. I assume due to the pricing you mentioned usage is very low.

So basically any background jobs or big batch processing jobs that required a lot of CPU time. We have multi-arch container builds so if we can’t scale out the ARM node group not a problem, go back to x86. But it was worth the optimizing to get effectively always available spot instances.

Yeah always open to meet up with folks. I’m on mastodon at [e-mail].
