Windows Server 2012 with NVIDIA GRID GPU Driver
NVIDIA | 1.3Windows, Windows Server 2012 6.2 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Adobe After Effects CC2014 wont detect the GRID K520 Gpu
As in the title...
Spent a good few hours, and after being excited going in, had to terminate all hope of using After Effects and Amazon EC2 as a render-farm solution.
In AE preferences, it's blind to the GPU.
3D Plugins such as Element, crash.
Hope this gets sorted soon. EC2 is a sweet option to a render farm

Audio possible with virtual sound card
By default there is no sound support via the TeamViewer method.
That can be fixed with a virtual sound card.
Virtual Audio Cable is a shareware, its interface is a madness designed for audiophiles. Too much work for my simple need of getting GPU + sound work in the cloud.
The free, simple alternative is VB-Cable. It requires zero configuration. Just install it under TeamViewer and it will work after restart.
Get it here (http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/index.htm).
I was able to get Premiere Pro CC and hardware rendering working. Real world test though the audio almost always lags the image for ~2 seconds when I test it from home.
No experience with other GPU on the cloud solutions.
As described
It's just the stock Windows Server 2012 Base AMI with the latest NVIDIA GRID K520 drivers (Rel. 320.59).
You still have to install a VNC server (I used TightVNC) in order to get the video card working (even if you just want to run a CUDA app from the console), since RDP uses its own emulated video card with a standard video driver.
