Preferring Spot in GKE Autopilot

Read Original

This technical article details a strategy for configuring workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot to preferentially use Spot VMs for significant cost savings, while allowing a fallback to regular nodes when Spot capacity is unavailable. It covers the necessary Kubernetes node affinity and toleration configurations, discusses workload suitability, and addresses potential pitfalls like capacity correlation and persistent non-spot nodes.
