Support for Spot VMs on GCP

Hi,
Im exploring Hopsworks on a GCP Compute Engine VM. I’m interested in using SpotVMs to spin up a multi-node cluster.

In the on-prem installation documentation there is no explicit mention of how to setup Hopsworks multinode cluster with SpotVMs so would be great if someone can throw some light on this (especially around support & infra requirements).

Also, for the managed installation of Hopsworks on GCP, can the spawned worker nodes have spot / preemptible type provisioning?

Hi,

If you plan to use SpotVMs for workers, we recommend that you create your cluster on managed.hopsworks.ai.

Regards,
Mahmoud
