Really interesting setup. What kind of monthly expense does this run?
And on a separate but related note, does it change the way you think about how you spend your time coding? (Assuming the costs do ramp up with usage such that time literally does equal money?)
- wenc 3y agoI’ve no idea what the cost is since the company pays for it — I do need the horsepower to run some really large models and I suspect most people don’t need this kind of spec. But for my company it’s just part of the cost of doing business. There’s no IT and I can provision instances of any type (subject to limits) at any time.

Anyhow there a wealth of free extensions to customize it and the setup is really straightforward. I have version management git in a private GitHub project for version management. You can add extensions for rendering graphs in good quality and importing and exporting stuff is easy. I have not been able to figure out why some people prefer to use Jupiter notebook as it is.

- zokier 3y ago32 vCPU / 256 GB instances like r6a.8xlarge is about $900/month (r6ad which has local disk is about $100/month more), I don't see there being much other major costs with such setup?
- wenc 3y agoUnlike individuals, large enterprises rarely pay sticker price but a heavily discounted negotiated rate for software and services. I can’t say how much exactly but it’s less than that.
- tedmiston 3y agoWith respect to EDP, AWS doesn't do "discounted negotiated rates", only discounts tied to specific committed spend levels (non-negotiated).
