Pros & Cons

Hinode

Advantages

Dedicated GPU access for individual users
Environment persists between sessions
Auto-pause functionality to save costs

Considerations

Limited regional availability
Dependent on browser compatibility for certain features

Impossible Cloud

Advantages

Per-GPU-hour rates published for every listed cluster and contract term
GPU compute and S3 object storage from one provider, so data and compute can sit in the same region
