About cloud costs

Unproofread notes

Came across this interesting post talking about the cloud.

To give you an idea of how expensive cloud has gotten, I picked up a server off FB marketplace today for $500. 128Gb of RAM and a 1Tb SSD.

It will cost about $6/month in electricity to run it.

An equivalent server in AWS would cost $950/mo. so I'll have payback in two weeks.

I'm going to buy a GPU for $600, and the cost of that in AWS would be about $350/mo.

I think if someone created a distributed garage hosting network it would kill it.
