Anyone have inside knowledge of the infrastructure used? It's hard to imagine a better use case for using AWS, Azure or Google Cloud and spinning up a huge fleet of servers for 24 hours. I suppose some misguided ideas around data security would have been used to shoot down the first engineer to suggest the cloud. EDIT: just read to wluu's post. Sounds like we (tax payers) paid for an IBM "private cloud" that couldn't scale.
