This is an advertisement for cloud usage, which is horrendously expensive. If you don't need the plasticity of cloud constructs then you may as well tune your own hardware and run/maintain/expand that as required.

Cheers, Mike.

I am not disagreeing that it is not reasonable to run Boinc in the Cloud (too expensive).

I was fascinated by the explanations of "serverless" and just how elastic demand support could be implemented.

My current electric bill budget could not replace the crunching I do by paying the Cloud.

It would be kinda cool if Seti could come back as a Boinc Project again, there are alot of people who would go back and help analyze the data if it could be made to work on a personal pc. Maybe analyze the rough data to whittle it down to things that could go thru a more detailed analysis.
