                deployment tries to purchase before launching each target
                instance. Boot time counts toward this window. Below 10 minutes,
                an instance may have very little or no usable runtime after
                boot; use shorter windows only for fast-starting,
                interruption-tolerant workloads. Minimum runtimes of 2 minutes
                or lower do not include a preemption notice.

        A spot deployment combines capacity procurement and instance lifecycle:
        it buys compute up to a maximum price and runs instances on the secured
        pool. The standalone procurements API remains available for managing
        capacity without creating instances.
