I personally find most cloud providers annoying to use for personal use. You have to ask for permission to get access to a GPU that's not any better than what you get in the free with Colab. Then, there's all sorts of configuration you have to do. Colab is much easier and basically zero wait time to go from logging in to starting to run code. At work we use Databricks, which is too expensive for personal use.
