> Switching to committed use nodes that can give customers up to a 70% discount?
This information is wrong. In which cloud do you see CUDs being 70% cheaper for standard machines?
Can you link any cloud provider's page that says – use "standard machines" for a higher discount than spot machines, it can be a productive conversation.
I don't think those values hold any meaning, specially after no concrete details are actually listed. For example, if hypothetical spot instances have a lower unit cost but your system needs to be over provisioned to account for systematic cold starts and cluster chatter, does it make any sense to say they are cheaper?

Is it? Forward your complains to Google, then.

And yes, the comment is confidently wrong as said in that page.
Not really. Hand-waving over hypothetical unit costs means nothing. In fact, I wonder if that's why the article lists no specifics on the cost structure of the spot instance based approach, and why the cloud 101 approach is spun to be such a surprise.

You're literally trying to gaslight when all it takes to verify your claim is a single click. Wild.
And the article has the standard machine spec, and the page shows clearly your information is blatantly wrong.
Fitting a different content into your own pre-set wrong mental model is not worth engaging over.
