Cloud HPC - pay per use

Not entirely hardware related, but is any of you guys using cloud solutions that offer pay per use, and what are your experiences?

Yes, we have used Penguin Computing for a couple of years for StarCCM+ simulations. It can be a good solution instead of bying a cluster if your demand is not 24-7 and your models are a couple of million cells and above. Especially if you pay software license pr. hour.

I really like CFD FEA Service, https://cfdfeaservice.it. Italian provider with lots of open-source pre-installed, e.g. OpenFOAM. It also comes with its own API and custom software/platform control if you like. VNC and ssh access for run-time case monitoring/adjustment/results processing are also available and easy to use.
