Spot vs reserved GPU capacity?
Grounded brief·good·$1.05 USD
A · Answer
Spot vs reserved GPU capacity?
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.
