Yeah, GCP spot instances don't vary in price like AWS ("The price adjustments will occur at most once a month").

There is no longer bidding for spot prices on AWS. They moved to model where pay the fixed spot price which isn't based on capacity.

Interesting! I think it still updates more than once a month, but that is a significant change that I wasn't aware of, thank you.
