Windows Server 2012 R2 with NVIDIA GRID GPU Driver
NVIDIA | 2020.09.09Windows, Windows Server 2012 R2 6.3 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Nvidia powered EC2 is a slick virtual Renderfarm for Virtual Reality.
I'd previously posted a review about the EC2 and Nvidia, and would like to change that.
I'm sold on the idea of using EC2 as my on-demand render farm.
Just completed a VR After Effects render (4k rez) as part of a Cinematic VR project for the Oculus Rift, in 11hours.
I used the new g2.8xlarge instance.
Meanwhile my beefy laptop (with Nvidia 980) quoted 60 hours for the same, and another service provider quoted 20 hours at a higher price.
There is a slight learning curve in setting things up to run smoothly and avoiding any OpenGl nvidia card time out errors that occur, but once you get it tweaked, it's click and run.
11 hours later, stop the instance from your iphone and download your rendered media.
Well done AWS.
Highly recommended.

Unmatched Performance & Availability
Solid for setting up a video encoding pipeline. Make sure you get enough hardware for your application(s).
You will spend pennies up to dollars per hour in GPU applications, be careful.
STEAM on grid
This is great, i can not understand the hassel everyone else had. But you need some IT understanding and server 2012 R2 understanding to get it to work.
I am running steam cloud and works just great
