Preview: You can specify a 120-second preemption notice duration while creating Spot VMs. Use this feature for workloads on Spot VMs where you want up to an additional 120 seconds for handling preemption. If you want to migrate existing Spot VMs workloads, make sure you update your workload to handle preemption outside of a shutdown script and test preemption. For more information, see Spot VMs and Create and use Spot VMs.
