Question: where do you get your cheap compute?

in General
I have a few low-end VPSes lying around serving me well, but sometimes I need a lot of compute for a short time. For example running a build script or simulations etc. For this my VPSes are a bit weak, but I don't want to pay for a high-end VPS/VDS running all the time if I need the performance for only a few hours per month.
Where do you people get high-performance computing, billed by actual usage? Something like AWS Lambda, except not AWS?

Use Hetzner Cloud and delete the instance once it is not needed anymore
I've got a dedi from 1gservers. I use that for work purposes (e.g kernel builds, CI jobs, yocto OS builds). Its quite reasonable for the core count. But that might be an overkill for you.
I also have a local server (8 cores, fairly modern intel) for local / smaller builds & running things around home (e.g router).
interesting question, if anyone got some in europe, i'd be thrilled !
Hetzner's Dedicated vCPU of course, as already mentioned by @tentor in the first response in this thread

Not hourly, but being able to slap together a custom VPS at Crunchbits on the cheap is one of the cooler and unique things offered here.
I use ramnode, they have hourly billing.
They offered a bonus don't last black friday, I took that and loaded the account with some balance that should last me for a year of such usage.
My 2nd alternative is digitalocean.
Hetzner cloud is probably your best bet for affordable cloud compute with hourly billing.
Things from you always so cool, Rika
Many provider support hourly dedis. Try cherryserver
kaggle is free, google collab is also free. both are give access to gpu for free
Hetzner
