If you are comparing buying the device + the other costs of running the device vs renting from aws, then the 24h upfront is not an issue. You could even consider renting for a year or more.
- Sohcahtoa82 6y agoCertainly it's going to depend on your use case. On my team, we just have a Mac Mini sitting under someone's desk to do stuff that requires a Mac. It gets used for about 1 hour every day for a daily build. For us, AWS's offering doesn't make financial sense. Even if we were to switch to only doing a weekly build, it wouldn't be worth it, as that would still cost around $1,250/year.
