Vertex AI now supports Spot VMs for training and prediction jobs
AI Impact Summary
Google is offering significant cost savings by enabling Spot VMs for Vertex AI training and prediction jobs. This allows users to leverage excess Compute Engine capacity at a reduced price, but it's important to note that Google can reclaim this capacity at any time. This capability provides an opportunity to optimize costs, but users should be prepared for potential interruptions.
