All the improvements that make spot instances production-ready.
Up to 91% discount
Access the same machine types at a fraction of on-demand pricing. Dynamic pricing based on supply and demand.
30-second termination notice
V2 provides a 30-second warning before preemption via metadata and ACPI signal, giving workloads time to checkpoint.
Auto-requeue
Spot V2 instances automatically requeue terminated workloads. Jobs resume from the last checkpoint when capacity returns.
Flexible capacity pools
Specify multiple machine types and zones. Our scheduler finds the cheapest available option across all your preferences.
Improved availability
V2 spots have better availability guarantees than legacy preemptible VMs. Historical preemption rates available via API.
GPU spot support
Use Spot V2 with GPU instances for ML training at extreme discounts. Automatic checkpointing for NCCL training jobs.
Getting started
Launch your first instance in three steps. CLI, console, or API — your choice.
ur compute instances create batch-worker \
--machine-type=e2-standard-8 \

--zone=eu-west1-bDesigned for fault-tolerant workloads.
Batch, CI/CD, ML training — save up to 91% on compute that can handle interruptions.
Large-scale batch computation
Run ETL pipelines, data processing, and MapReduce jobs on hundreds of Spot instances. Automatic requeue handles preemptions transparently.
