On: Introducing Preemptible VMs

[bitJericho]

At a penny per core per instance hour the cost is about 7 dollars a month. I can get a normal dedicated VM for cheaper... What's the benefit in this?

You're not buying a dedicated instance for a month, you're renting it as long as you need it. If you only need a core for an hour, your bill will be $0.01.
