Infrastructure-as-a-Service providers are offering their unused resources in the form of variable-priced virtual machines (VMs), known as "spot instances", at prices significantly lower than their standard fixed-priced resources. To lease…

Cloud computing offers a variable-cost payment scheme that allows cloud customers to specify the price they are willing to pay for renting spot instances to run their applications at much lower costs than fixed payment schemes, and…

Cloud providers sell their idle capacity on markets through an auction-like mechanism to increase their return on investment. The instances sold in this way are called spot instances. In spite that spot instances are usually 90% cheaper…

Cloud vendors offer discounted spot instances to maximize surplus resource utilization, but these instances are subject to the risk of sudden interruption. Traditional pricing datasets have been employed to predict this risk, yet recent…

Cost optimization is a common goal of workflow schedulers operating in cloud computing environments. The use of spot instances is a potential means of achieving this goal, as they are offered by cloud providers at discounted prices compared…

Spot instances are virtual machines offered at 60-90% lower cost that can be reclaimed at any time, with only a short warning period. Spot instances have already been used to significantly reduce the cost of processing workloads in the…

The increasing reliance on dynamic pricing models, such as spot instances, in public cloud environments presents new challenges for workload scheduling and reliability. While these models offer cost advantages, they introduce volatility and…

Cloud computing delivers value to users by facilitating their access to computing capacity in periods when their need arises. An approach is to provide both on-demand and spot services on shared servers. The former allows users to access…

Cloud spot markets rent VMs for a variable price that is typically much lower than the price of on-demand VMs, which makes them attractive for a wide range of large-scale applications. However, applications that run on spot VMs suffer from…

In late 2009, Amazon introduced spot instances to offer their unused resources at lower cost with reduced reliability. Amazon's spot instances allow customers to bid on unused Amazon EC2 capacity and run those instances for as long as their…

Many businesses possess a small infrastructure that they can use for their computing tasks, but also often buy extra computing resources from clouds. Cloud vendors such as Amazon EC2 offer two types of purchase options: on-demand and spot…

As foundation models grow in size, fine-tuning them becomes increasingly expensive. While GPU spot instances offer a low-cost alternative to on-demand resources, their volatile prices and availability make deadline-aware scheduling…

Leading Cloud providers offer several types of Virtual Machines (VMs) in diverse contract models, with different guarantees in terms of availability and reliability. Among them, the most popular contract models are the on-demand and the…

Public cloud service vendors provide a surplus of computing resources at a cheaper price as a spot instance. Despite the cheaper price, the spot instance can be forced to be shutdown at any moment whenever the surplus resources are in…

Spot instances offer a cost-effective solution for applications running in the cloud computing environment. However, it is challenging to run long-running jobs on spot instances because they are subject to unpredictable evictions. Here, we…

Cloud platforms have emerged as a prominent environment to execute high performance computing (HPC) applications providing on-demand resources as well as scalability. They usually offer different classes of Virtual Machines (VMs) which…

Premier cloud service providers (CSPs) offer two types of purchase options, namely on-demand and spot instances, with time-varying features in availability and price. Users like startups have to operate on a limited budget and similarly…

Cloud users aim to minimize cost while maximizing performance by selecting the most suitable instance types for their workloads. To reduce expenses, spot instances have been widely adopted due to their steep discounts compared to on-demand…

This paper addresses the challenge of deadline-aware online scheduling for jobs in hybrid cloud environments, where jobs may run on either cost-effective but unreliable spot instances or more expensive on-demand instances, under hard…

Cloud-based computing infrastructure provides an efficient means to support real-time processing workloads, e.g., virtualized base station processing, and collaborative video conferencing. This paper addresses resource allocation for a…
