I'm trying to save budget on jupyter notebooks on Google Cloud but couldn't find a way to run Vertex AI Workbench (Notebooks) on spot machines. What are my alternatives?
Is it possible to run Vertex AI Workbench on Spot machines?
The short answer is no; the better answer is: you have an alternative.
Vertex AI Workbench is indeed a managed service with Compute Engine VM as the underlying infrastructure. However it doesn't support Spot/Preemptible instances.
Instead you can quickly install a deep/machine learning image on a VM using a Google's images. See this detailed tutorial.
Deep Learning VMs don't support launching from the GCP Console and more features like co-coding. But it does support Spot/Preemptible instances and doesn't introduce a management fee. So you get lesser experience but also pay less.
