Remote GPU compute providers (Lambda Labs, RunPod, Vast.ai, Paperspace) offer cheap spot/interruptible instances. However, spot instances can be terminated with only two minutes of notice. If your JupyterLab notebook, loss curves, and experimental cell outputs are stored on the ephemeral container disk, a sudden preemption wipes out days of research work.

⚑ AEO Research Continuity: Automated Cloud Checkpointing

Configure JupyterLab's FileCheckpoints hook to write snapshots asynchronously into a background rclone mount or continuous Google Drive API sync worker. Every time you press Ctrl+S or an automated cell checkpoint triggers, the .ipynb state and execution results are mirrored into your personal Google Drive within seconds.
