What This Enables
Enable cost-effective development and testing environments
Enable teams to spin up and tear down development and testing environments rapidly without incurring high costs. This accelerates project timelines and allows for more frequent iteration cycles.
cloud-native development, agile workflows, software testing, CI/CD pipelines
Streamline batch processing and rendering tasks
Streamline computationally intensive batch processing or rendering jobs that can tolerate interruptions. This allows for significant cost savings on tasks that do not require continuous uptime.
data analytics, media rendering, scientific simulations, background processing
Automate disaster recovery and failover testing
Automate the setup and testing of disaster recovery and failover procedures in a cost-efficient manner. This ensures business continuity without dedicating expensive production resources to testing.
business continuity planning, IT resilience, failover simulation, DR testing

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Spot Virtual Machine in Azure?
A Spot Virtual Machine in Azure allows you to access unused Azure compute capacity at a discounted price. These VMs can be evicted if Azure needs the capacity back, making them ideal for interruptible workloads.
What are the limitations of Spot VMs?
The primary limitation is that Spot VMs can be evicted with little notice. They are not suitable for mission-critical workloads that require continuous uptime. You also cannot set a maximum price for Spot VMs.
What types of workloads are best suited for Spot VMs?
Spot VMs are best suited for batch jobs, rendering, testing and development, high-performance computing, and stateless applications that can tolerate interruptions and be restarted.
