* Intel Haswell or better is available in every zone around the world * Neither Kubernetes nor Typhoon have a particular minimum processor family. However, a few Google Cloud zones still default to Sandy/Ivy bridge (scheduled to shift April 2019). Price is only based on machine type so it is beneficial to opt for the next processor family * Intel Haswell is a suitable minimum since it still allows plenty of liberty in choosing any region or machine type * Likely a slight increase to preemption probability in a few zones, but any lower probability on Sandy/Ivy bridge is due to lower desirability as they're phased out * https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/
Typhoon 
Typhoon is a minimal and free Kubernetes distribution.
- Minimal, stable base Kubernetes distribution
- Declarative infrastructure and configuration
- Free (freedom and cost) and privacy-respecting
- Practical for labs, datacenters, and clouds
Typhoon distributes upstream Kubernetes, architectural conventions, and cluster addons, much like a GNU/Linux distribution provides the Linux kernel and userspace components.
Features 
- Kubernetes v1.13.3 (upstream, via kubernetes-incubator/bootkube)
- Single or multi-master, Calico or flannel networking
- On-cluster etcd with TLS, RBAC-enabled, network policy
- Advanced features like worker pools, preemptible workers, and snippets customization
- Ready for Ingress, Prometheus, Grafana, and other optional addons
