However, Compute Engine might stop (pre-empt) these instances if it requires access to those resources for other tasks. Preemptible instances are excess Compute Engine capacity, so their availability varies with usage.

Wait, can they really only last 12 hours? That seems short.

They’re cheaper, so definitely a good option for short tasks.

I vaguely recall that they can be preempted with a short notice, but I can't remember if it's 30 seconds or something else. I need to double-check that!

I think preemptible VMs can only run for a maximum of 12 hours, so option A sounds right to me.

I'm not sure about the notice period for preemption. Was it 30 seconds or 30 minutes? I feel like I might have seen both in practice questions.

I remember something about preemptible VMs being cheaper, so I think option D is definitely one of the answers.

Okay, I've got this. The most important thing is to make sure we document the way the user describes the incident. That's the core information we need to address their support request effectively.

The default mode is definitely queryPlanner. I remember learning that in class, so I'm confident about this one.
