Azure Spot Virtual Machines Description
Utilize Spot Virtual Machines to access excess computing power at substantially reduced prices. This approach is ideal for deploying workloads that can withstand interruptions and are not bound by strict time constraints. You can efficiently run tasks related to development, testing, quality assurance, advanced analytics, big data, machine learning, AI, as well as batch processing, video rendering, and image transcoding—all while keeping costs remarkably low. It's important to focus on applications that are resilient to disruptions and can operate without a defined completion timeline when utilizing Spot VMs. As Azure faces a shortage of available computing resources, it's crucial to prioritize high-performance computing tasks, batch processing operations, or visual rendering projects to make the most of the resources at hand. Adopting this strategy can lead to significant cost efficiencies while still fulfilling diverse computing needs.

Google Compute Engine
Compute Engine (IaaS), a platform from Google that allows organizations to create and manage cloud-based virtual machines, is an infrastructure as a services (IaaS).
Computing infrastructure in predefined sizes or custom machine shapes to accelerate cloud transformation. General purpose machines (E2, N1,N2,N2D) offer a good compromise between price and performance. Compute optimized machines (C2) offer high-end performance vCPUs for compute-intensive workloads. Memory optimized (M2) systems offer the highest amount of memory and are ideal for in-memory database applications. Accelerator optimized machines (A2) are based on A100 GPUs, and are designed for high-demanding applications. Integrate Compute services with other Google Cloud Services, such as AI/ML or data analytics. Reservations can help you ensure that your applications will have the capacity needed as they scale. You can save money by running Compute using the sustained-use discount, and you can even save more when you use the committed-use discount.

Azure Virtual Desktop
Azure Virtual Desktop, previously known as Windows Virtual Desktop, is a robust cloud-based solution for desktop and application virtualization. It stands out as the sole virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that offers streamlined management, the ability to run multiple sessions of Windows 10, enhancements for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, and compatibility with Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environments. You can effortlessly deploy and scale your Windows desktops and applications on Azure within minutes, all while benefiting from integrated security and compliance features. With the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) approach, users can access their desktops and applications via the internet using clients like Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, or HTML5. It’s essential to select the appropriate Azure virtual machine (VM) to ensure optimal performance, and by utilizing the multi-session capabilities of Windows 10 and Windows 11 on Azure, organizations can support multiple users concurrently while also reducing costs. This flexibility and efficiency make Azure Virtual Desktop an appealing choice for businesses looking to enhance their remote work capabilities.
