Spot or preemptible capacity is cheaper because

  • A.it runs on older and slower hardware
  • B.it is billed only once a month
  • C.it carries no service level agreement at all
  • D.the provider may reclaim it at short notice

Answer: D

Correct answer: the provider may reclaim it at short notice

Spot instances are the provider’s unused capacity, sold at a steep discount because it can be withdrawn - typically with a warning of a couple of minutes - whenever a full-price customer wants it. The hardware is the same as any other instance; what differs is the guarantee, and the discount is payment for accepting that interruption.
