A · Answer

Spot vs reserved GPU capacity?

grounded briefstrong_topical_matchpublic

Spot GPU slices cut expected spend but can be reclaimed, so long jobs pay a preemption tax.

Burst or exploratory jobs usually fit spot; training runs with costly checkpoints usually fit reserved.

Reserved GPU slices trade a commitment cost for a lower chance of interruption and more predictable start times.

The tradeoff is interruption risk versus commitment, not a vendor catalog.
