Hi Bernard,
I have tried the Amazon free tier. It has severe limitations on CPU and resources. It wasn't always clear to me how the billing
worked. (I didn't do the course;-). Unfortunately I chose a fixed IPv4 address, and you have to pay for that. Not much, it's
true. I probably could have gone for a dyndns address but was feeling lazy. That said, I put up a jitsi server and it worked fine
within the free tier limitations.
Before you start, you have to give amazon your credit card details (of course)
and I got a few bills (only cents but still).

I'd like to run a Windows compute intensive app in something a lot more
powerful than my laptop. The .exe is under 200kb but it needs about
5-10Gbytes of memory to run in. It produces output files of up to 100MBytes.
Does anyone have any experience of Amazon and/or Microsoft (or anything
else) and what the risks might be? Especially if the thing runs wild and
chews up resources unexpectedly?
Advice/comments would be appreciated.
