I don't understand why anyone would do this locally when you can compile on an elastic cloud instance at many times the speed for pennies. Why keep upgrading your hardware when you should just be submitting these jobs to an ultra-cheap server that will be many times faster anyways?
- jiggy2011 14y agoIt might be cheaper in the long run to have it locally if you do it a lot. At current pricing tying up that much EC2 (about equiv to an XL instance) for 5 hours is going to be measured in $ rather than pennies.
- yareally 14y agoYou're totally right. Compiles for aosp add up quick when testing or building for multiple devices. Even cyanogenmod's (the largest group) nightly automated builds are done on bare metal servers.
