Burstable nodes are a cost-effective solution for underutilized CPU workloads; they allow temporarily bursting CPU usage beyond the guaranteed amount. However, watch out for "baseline" versus "burst" CPU numbers, variable credit usage, and potential extra charge for extended bursting.
Different cloud providers handle bursting differently, and it's worth testing and properly configuring peak vs. average CPU request. Be aware that memory usage may incur additional charges even if not bursting.
Consider physical machine allocation, spot instances, and networking interruptions.
