Explanation

Azure Machine Learning compute clusters (managed compute) natively support low-priority VMs, which use Azure's surplus capacity and offer discounts of up to 80% compared to dedicated VMs. Low-priority nodes may be preempted when Azure reclaims capacity, making them suitable for fault-tolerant batch workloads. AKS clusters use standard or spot node pools but are provisioned separately and are not the primary choice for this scenario. Azure Container Instances (ACI) and local deployment do not support the low-priority VM billing model at all.
