Companies wanting a tool to access low-cost unused Azure compute capacity at scale
About Azure Spot Virtual Machines
Use Spot Virtual Machines to buy unused compute capacity at significant cost savings. Deploy workloads that can handle interruptions and don't need to be completed within a specific period. Run workloads for development, testing, quality assurance, advanced analytics, big data, machine learning and AI, batch jobs, rendering and transcoding of videos, graphics, and images at a very low cost. On spot VMs, run only applications that can handle interruptions and don't need to be completed within a specific timeframe. Azure no longer has available computing capacity and needs to reallocate its resources. Select high-performance computing scenarios, batch processing jobs, or visual rendering applications.
