- Use Pre-emptible VMs for adding capacity and configure them for graceful shutdown
- If your apps are fault-tolerant and can withstand possible instance preemptions, then preemptible instances can reduce your Compute Engine costs significantly. For example, batch processing jobs can run on preemptible instances.
- If some of those instances terminate during processing, the job may slow down, but not completely terminate.
- Preemptible instances complete your batch processing tasks without placing additional workload on your existing instances and without requiring you to pay full price for additional normal instances.
