A company wants to reduce AKS costs by running batch workloads on preemptible VMs. Which node pool type should they use?
- A System node pool
- B GPU node pool
- C User node pool with spot VMs (correct answer)
- D Standard_D2s_v3 node pool
Shortcut: Spot node pools use Azure Spot VMs (unused capacity at up to 90% discount) suitable for fault-tolerant batch workloads. Pods must handle eviction gracefully.
