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.

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.
