Introducing Preemptible VMs
I might be missing something important here. But according to their pricing page[1], a preemtible VM with 30GB memory costs $86.4 a month.<p>Why would someone go for this when cheap dedicated host providers like hetzner etc offer powerful dedicated servers with 64GB memory and multicore server grade CPUs? The comparison only gets worse taking into account that Google's offering is preemptible and can shutdown and come up as they wish.<p>[1]: <a href="https://cloud.google.com/compute/#pricing" rel="nofollow">https://cloud.google.com/compute/#pricing</a> (0.12x24x30)
