Spot Instance Availability

Where spot capacity is actually safe to use

Across 102 regions on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, every single one offers at least 59 instance types in its cloud's lowest published interruption tier. Spot is rarely a question of whether capacity exists — it is a question of knowing where to land.

Tiers rank regions and instance types within a single cloud. They are not comparable between clouds: AWS reports the share of a pool reclaimed over roughly 30 days, Azure the chance a VM is evicted in the next hour, and Google preemptions as a share of instances that stopped. The one figure that does compare across clouds is the spot discount, because it is a ratio of two prices the same provider publishes.

How to read these numbers

Each cloud publishes spot interruption data on its own terms. AWS reports the share of a pool reclaimed over roughly 30 days. Azure reports the probability a VM is evicted in the next hour. Google reports preemptions divided by the instances that stopped, over a window that varies from one to thirty days.

These are three different measurements, and no provider publishes the raw counts needed to convert between them. We therefore never average them together or use them to rank one cloud against another. Each provider's figure appears in its own words, with its own window, and is used only to compare regions and instance types within that cloud.

The one figure we do compare across clouds is the discount, because a spot price measured against an on-demand price is the same calculation everywhere.
