When running a [spot (preemptible) instance](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/preemptible), the code and VM will behave the same way as in a regular instance, executing the startup script to configure the environment, install necessary dependencies, and run the Langflow application. However, **due to the nature of spot instances, the VM may be terminated at any time if Google Cloud needs to reclaim the resources**. This makes spot instances suitable for fault-tolerant, stateless, or interruptible workloads that can handle unexpected terminations and restarts.
