Hi @hkadhaoLet me explain. When configuring a pool in Databricks, you have the option to use either all spot instances or all on-demand instances. If you choose the โ€œAll Spotโ€ option, the pool will launch clusters with spot instances for all nodes...1. Essentially, this allows you to leverage unused compute capacity and save costs by using spot VMs. The โ€œspot labelโ€ youโ€™re seeing refers to this configuration choice within the pool settings2. Feel free to ask if you need further clarification! ๐Ÿ˜Š
