Octane Cloud Workstation
OTOY | 1.1*Windows, Windows 2008 R2 x64 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Worked fine
Was fairly easy to get setup. I loved being able to connect to the desktop environment through the OTOY client API via URL (IP+GUID). I installed Unreal Engine 4 on the machine and used it for a few days. While this is free through OTOY it cost me in AWS though Data Transfer and EC2 resources because of the GPU Instance you must use.

Has potential
Seems to have good potential. I only used Revit for a little while. Did not try Inventor or 3DS Max. Getting up an running with the instance took looking up info on several web pages so I definitely think instructions could be clarified and consolidated a bit.
It's the future
I've been using Autodesk Inventor for 10 years now. On my home machine, when working on robot assemblies that consist of hundreds of parts, I experience lag as I rotate and place constraints. However, with the cloud workstation I found it to be extremely responsive when assembling. I would have never guessed that having cloud rendering handle this process to be the solution, but after using this I'm convinced it's the future. As I work on engineering projects in college, I can't help but think how great it would be if our college offered this as a way for us CAD and work on our designs from anywhere. The fact that this is running in the web browser is astonishing. I was able to run it at +45fps on a 50d/10u internet connection at home on an old Macbook Pro and an newer i7 HP laptop without any issues. Well worth it.
