Just a side note here, it seems that these are spot instances, whereas all our VMs are non-interruptible. So there is a bit of difference (e.g. you probably wouldn't do a weeklong Blender render on a GCP VM if it could be interrupted and lose your work, whereas you can definitely run it on TensorDock because our VMs are reserved).

Of course, you can set up data checkpointing to save your data, but overall, it is a bit of an extra hassle to run on spot/interruptible instances, and if you do get interrupted, you are wasting valuable time waiting for stock to free up again.
