Building my own colab...

Run large processing jobs by instantiating ec2 instances

This application is a work in progress...

Creates a simple user interface for creating ephemeral VMs on aws for running jobs Provides ssh terminal-ish access to all instances

Benifits of creating single use instances for running processes

  • Consistency. Install scripts work consistently accross all machines
  • Scalable. Any number of instances can be created and run in parallel. Configurable cpus
  • Start up speed. Can quickly create and run simulations on multiple machines
  • Cost. No need to buy hardware

Drawbacks

  • cost of larger vms can be prohibitive
  • environment setup required on all instances
