Or you can just buy a GPU instead of renting one out. I have a project where users generate designs for clothing and the mock ups get rendered in 3D on various different models, about 20 variations per design. Instead of paying a monthly bill to some GPU provider forever I instead bought a Nvidia Jetson Nano and set it up as a render server. It constantly looks at it's render queue and renders as needed. It cost me $150 to put it together and sometimes I forget it exists because it runs so well.<p>Sometimes it's cheaper and more practical to just buy the hardware.<p>I had a similar issue with a company I worked for before, we had an account on Azure and the machine was expensive but also slow and after 4 months we decided to buy a used server for $1000 and closed the Azure account and never looked back.
buying GPUs will always be cheaper than renting, unless something changes dramatically. even with GPU prices being what they are today.<p>depending on usage, you could start saving money over rented GPU time in a single-digit number of weeks.
