Google \u00a0introduced the new pricing scheme for VMs, which could mean big savings for certain customers, about four months ago<\/a>.

Here\u2019s what Google has to say: \u201cPreemptible VMs are identical to regular VMs, except availability is subject to system supply and demand.\u201d That means that Preemptible VMs, which run on resources that would otherwise go unused, can be shut down at any time as those resources are provisioned to other customers (the ones paying for full price, on-demand VMs).\u00a0 \u201cSince we run Preemptible VMs on resources that would otherwise be idle, we can offer them at substantially reduced cost,\u201d says Google.<\/p>\n

Google’s preemptible instances are similar to Amazon Web Service\u2019s (AWS) spot instances in that both services allow the vendor to sell unused machines at a discount when they are running idle, though AWS uses a bidding process while google offers a set price.<\/p>\n
