Am I likely to experience less Azure Spot VM instance evictions by creating it in a region that has a large time difference from where it's used?

I am creating a spot VM to be used in offices located in New York. If I choose India as the region, will the time difference between the two regions help reduce the spot evictions because I can expect peak hours in India to be off peak hours in New York and vice versa?

That sounds logical. But the cure might be worse than the disease if your workload is sensitive to latency. The sheer distance between New York and India will guarantee a round trip latency of 200 milliseconds or more

This did occur to me, but latency is not a problem in my case.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
