The problem
Training, fine-tuning, and batch-scoring jobs run on-demand at the premium GPU rate even when they don’t need to. These jobs are often already interruptible — they checkpoint, they run off-hours, they can retry — which makes them ideal for Spot capacity at up to ~70% off. But spotting which jobs qualify, and doing it safely, is rarely anyone’s job.
How Lizrd fixes it
Lizrd identifies GPU workloads that look batch-shaped and interruptible read-only, and recommends moving them to managed Spot training (SageMaker, Vertex, Azure ML) with automatic resume — with the evidence, the confidence level, and the exact configuration change. On-demand stays the default for anything latency-sensitive; only genuinely interruptible work is flagged.
The outcome
The same jobs finish for a fraction of the GPU cost, with checkpoint-and-resume handling interruptions, and Lizrd validates the realized savings against your bill.
“Our nightly fine-tuning already checkpointed — it just never occurred to anyone it could run on Spot for a fraction of the price.”
More ways to save
Cover steady usage with commitments
Savings Plans and committed-use discounts are free money on steady baselines — if you size them right. Lizrd finds your safe, always-on floor to commit against.
Cut idle networking waste
Idle NAT gateways, unattached elastic IPs, and load balancers with no traffic bill around the clock. Lizrd finds them and confirms what's safe to remove.
Delete orphaned resources
Unattached volumes, unused IPs, and stale snapshots keep billing with nothing using them. Lizrd finds them and confirms they're safe to remove.
