Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

It simply solves the problem definitively!
I have great experience in using AMI's with GPU, to render in 3ds max and Unreal Engine 4. I have already used all the others, but this one is by far the best of all. The performance is incredible, I almost did not experience lags, but I access more than 8,000km away. And sometimes the connection moves and everything else was in real time. I was able to save hundreds of hours of rendering in just 36 hours of use. I recommend to all professionals who urgently need to solve some heavy rendering process and etc ... I spent about $ 350.00, but I saved a lot more, and above all I managed to deliver the project, which demanded a lot of memory and a lot of cpu. At peak I used 150gb of memory and all 64cpus at 100%, it was amazing!
