Today, we are announcing the public preview of Azure Spot
Placement Score, a feature designed to help you assess the likelihood of
success for your Spot VM deployments.
Given that Spot availability can fluctuate based on SKU size, location,
availability zones, or time of day, Spot Placement Score provides the ability
to evaluate the chance of deployment success by assigning a rating of High,
Medium, or Low to a Spot VM size before deployment. This feature provides increased clarity and
control, enabling you to make more informed decisions about which Spot VMs to
deploy and where.
Using Spot Placement Score, you can achieve the following:
- A clear evaluation of how likely your Spot deployments is
to succeed based on specified parameters.
- Identify the most suitable combination of regions and VM
sizes to maximize Spot VM availability and survivability based on placement
scores.
- Improve the overall success rate of deploying Spot VMs by
leveraging data-driven placement scores, reducing the risk of capacity issues
or failures during deployment.
