Pretty reasonable pricing in return for the preemptible nature. Dividing the numbers on the pricing page [1]: If you use them as a replacement for occasional (full-price) instances, it&#x27;s a 70% discount across the board. If you use them as a replacement for mostly-on instances that would qualify for the sustained-usage discount, it&#x27;s a 57% discount on top of that. So for example an always-on n1-standard-1 goes from about $25&#x2F;mo to $11&#x2F;mo. That ends up actually being cheaper than an equivalent DigitalOcean server, if your workload is ok with being preempted.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;compute&#x2F;#pricing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;compute&#x2F;#pricing</a>
