Is the "best effort" tier similar to AWS spot instances?
1 comments

At every cloud provider there's probably a tier below "spot" (or whatever the equivalent is called at AWS's competitors) that is used for the low-priority jobs of the cloud provider itself.
You can speculate about this or you can look at how Google's internal workloads actually run, because they have released a large and detailed set of traces from Borg. They're really open about this.
