On demand
Answer in brief
On demand means you start a machine when you want it and stop it when you are done, paying only for the time it ran.
On demand in practice
An on-demand RTX 5090 cannot be taken back while it runs, and there is no term to buy. It is the price this site lists.
Interruptible prices are lower because the machine can be taken back. Reserved prices are lower because a term is paid ahead. Neither compares with an on-demand figure.
