Spot GPU Instances

Up to 50% off – RTX 4090 from only $0.18/hour

Default 1-hour protection, 1-hour advance termination notice, fully compatible with traditional Spot workflows. Best suited for workloads tolerant to interruptions

Deploy Spot Instance View Pricing

GPU Types Available:4090A100H100

Save 50% on GPU costs

Why Spot Instances

Run workloads at a fraction of the cost—without sacrificing reliability

Save Up to 50%

Pay half the on-demand rate

Built-in Protection

Guaranteed 1-hour initial runtime

Advance Notice

1-hour termination alerts via API, email, or console

Flexible Deployment

Combine with on-demand or reserved instances for the right balance of cost and stability

Spot Instance Lifecycle

1-hour guaranteed runtime, then interruptible with 1-hour notice before automatic reclaim Spot uses spare capacity—low cost, reclaimable anytime.

Launch

Instance enters running state

1-Hour Protection

No interruptions during this period

Interruption Window

After protection ends, instance may be reclaimed

Termination Notice

Sent 1 hour in advance

Forced Termination

Instance is stopped and released automatically

Note: Workloads should be interruption-tolerant. Use checkpointing or backups to prevent data loss.

Ideal Use Cases

Best Practices

Enable Checkpointing

Save training state regularly to persistent storage

Design Retryable Workloads

Break jobs into smaller units with resume/retry

Adopt Mixed Strategies

Run critical workloads on on-demand, offload flexible ones to Spot

Respond Quickly

Use termination notifications to trigger backup or shutdown logic

Notice: Spot is best for flexible workloads. Use on-demand or reserved for mission-critical applications.
