Question: where do you get your cheap compute?

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).

  • 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.
