Tiers rank regions and instance types within a single cloud. They are not comparable between clouds: AWS reports the share of a pool reclaimed over roughly 30 days, Azure the chance a VM is evicted in the next hour, and Google preemptions as a share of instances that stopped. The one figure that does compare across clouds is the spot discount, because it is a ratio of two prices the same provider publishes.
