 ## Eviction policy
 
 VMs can be evicted based on capacity or the max price you set. For virtual machines, the eviction policy is set to *Deallocate* which moves your evicted VMs to the stopped-deallocated state, allowing you to redeploy the evicted VMs at a later time. However, reallocating Spot VMs will be dependent on there being available Spot capacity. The deallocated VMs will count against your spot vCPU quota and you will be charged for your underlying disks. 
 
 Users can opt-in to receive in-VM notifications through [Azure Scheduled Events](../articles/virtual-machines/linux/scheduled-events.md). This will notify you if your VMs are being evicted and you will have 30 seconds to finish any jobs and perform shutdown tasks prior to the eviction.
