# Cant-Be-Late Scheduling Problem
Cloud spot instance scheduling benchmark with multiple difficulty variants.
## Variants
This problem has **12 variants** combining three dimensions:
| Dimension | Options | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| **Availability** | `high_availability` | 43-78% spot availability regions |
| | `low_availability` | 4-40% spot availability regions |
| | `mixed_availability` | Both high and low availability regions |
| **Deadline** | `tight_deadline` | 52 hours (4-hour slack) |
| | `loose_deadline` | 70 hours (22-hour slack) |
| **Overhead** | `small_overhead` | 0.05 hours (3 minutes) restart overhead |
| | `large_overhead` | 0.20 hours (12 minutes) restart overhead |
### Variant Examples
