I've run Leela on EC2 successfully on both Windows and Ubuntu. Never a problem.

On a more parallel front, I concocted a framework which breaks down any computable problem across AWS Spots
and it was fine for fairly complex things speeding them up massively. Mostly these days Lambda on AWS is recommended
but Spots are my personal favorite feature of AWS. Lambda lessens the compute costs though you still have network, storage,
etc. costs. And you are limited in what computer languages you can use...

Didn't read all the previous post so sorry if duplicate. Just want to say Oracle cloud seem far better to me for chess, or even ovh is proposing quite cheap dedicated machine.

Which instances do you use to run Leela if I may ask? ;-)
