I am a fan of aws but it is all too easy to mount up large bills. I began using accelerated compute instances but as a newbie it was hard for me to get a feel of the performance, how large and a dataset could we run before it fell over or over heated. If we were spending other people's money I would have gone all in on aws GPS-enabled instances, as a boot strapped firm doing some experiments in the ML space it was more cost effective to buy a small server and get a feel for the performance envelope. We just doubled our hardware spec for another on-prem computer. The best thing is, amazon could not offer better value.
