Preemptible Instances

Preemptible instances are available for a significantly reduced cost, but they may be stopped at any time by an on-demand customer.

Create a Preemptible Instance​

To create a preemptible instance via the REST API, send a POST request to the /instances endpoint with the preemptible field set to true:

POST /instances HTTP/1.1
Host: <your-cluster-url>
Authorization: Bearer <your-auth-token>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "example",
  "type": "cpu.8x",
  "preemptible": true,
}
