True or False: Azure Spot Virtual Machines provide a guaranteed Service Level Agreement (SLA) for high-availability workloads.
True or False: Azure Spot Virtual Machines provide a guaranteed Service Level Agreement (SLA) for high-availability workloads.
Answer options:
A.
True
B.
False
How to approach this question
Remember that Spot VMs are cheap because they use leftover capacity. If Azure needs that capacity back, they take it.
Full Answer
B.False✓ Correct
False
Azure Spot Virtual Machines allow you to take advantage of unused capacity at a significant cost savings. However, at any point in time when Azure needs the capacity back, the Azure infrastructure will evict Spot VMs. Therefore, they do not provide an SLA and are only suitable for workloads that can handle interruptions (like batch processing).
Common mistakes
Assuming all Azure services have an SLA. Spot VMs are a specific exception.
