On Demand vs Interruptible Rental Types
Blog post from Vast.ai
Vast offers two primary GPU rental options: on-demand and interruptible, each catering to different user needs and budget considerations. On-demand rentals allow users to have exclusive control over a GPU with high priority for a fixed duration set by the host, suitable for tasks requiring uninterrupted access. In contrast, interruptible rentals operate on a bidding system where users can save costs by competing for GPU access, but these instances can be paused if outbid or if an on-demand rental takes precedence, making them ideal for fault-tolerant tasks. Clients can also convert on-demand rentals to prepaid reserved rentals for discounts, providing a cost-effective solution for users with predictable long-term computing needs. To ensure seamless usage, Vast recommends saving work regularly and transferring data off instances before their duration ends.
