## Feature Feature **Generally available**: You can gradually create Flex-start VMs in a managed instance group (MIG) as capacity becomes available. Unlike resize requests for MIGs that wait for full capacity before creating VMs, this method might create only a portion of your requested Flex-start VMs if capacity is unavailable. The MIG creates the remaining VMs later as capacity permits. Flex-start VMs run for up to seven days and help you obtain high-demand resources, such as GPUs, at a discounted price.
