A NEW TREND OF CPU SHORTAGES
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Many companies are struggling to source CPUs. CPU spot pricing has disappeared because there's no longer any lack of demand for CPUs. It's now nearly impossible to get CPUs on spot instances without long-running connections with cloud providers. Reserving specific CPUs now needs to be done months in advance. Cloud providers will even turn down certain reservations because they don't have enough CPUs or the right type of CPUs.
