+# Azure Spot VMs for virtual machine scale sets 
 
 Using Azure Spot on scale sets allows you to take advantage of our unused capacity at a significant cost savings. At any point in time when Azure needs the capacity back, the Azure infrastructure will evict Spot instances. Therefore, Spot instances are great for workloads that can handle interruptions like batch processing jobs, dev/test environments, large compute workloads, and more.
 
 The amount of available capacity can vary based on size, region, time of day, and more. When deploying Spot instances on scale sets, Azure will allocate the instance only if there is capacity available, but there is no SLA for these instances. A Spot scale set is deployed in a single fault domain and offers no high availability guarantees.
