• Agree, we're rarely running out of machines in London DC, but it's mainly because we are very specific about instance types and London DC is not that big.

    @Polygon, that's quite steep for what it is. Active Directory? Document DB for $200?

    You could try speaking to these guys - https://sherpa.escape-technology.com. We considered them at some point. They are nice people but the price may be as steep as AWS.

  • Don't get why you need directory services like AD for rendering.

    Maybe it's geared towards graphic design teams or something?

  • 'Nimble Studio' definitely is aimed at production houses, less so solo artists, so I guess that's where I'm going wrong as I wouldn't require the same level of control over permissions and access to services. All I want is a single virtual workstation with a bit of storage attached at first, with the ability to use their 'usage base licencing' and then the ability to render on a bunch of spot instances later down the line.

  • No idea why they want you to use SSO but it turns it on if you want to use this service.
