Running SCone over AWS or Microsft Azure Cloud

Hi,
Is it possible to run Scone over cloud. I want to run multiple simulations at a time. I understand from Scone FAQ regarding the hardware specifications(https://scone.software/doku.php?id=faq). Is it possible to run Scone from cloud (with AWS or Azure) with Epic level specifications? Kindly let me know.


Thanks
Mritula

I have no experience with AWS or Azure Cloud, but there may be another solution for you.

With the upcoming SCONE release, there will be support for a new simulation engine that can be used instead of OpenSim. This will give you similar results, but at 50-100x the speed of OpenSim. Needless to say, this will save you a lot of time. It is already successfully being employed by other researchers.

Unfortunately, this simulation engine is not free -- you will have to buy a license. If this is an option for you, let me know and I can arrange a trial license for you to try it out.
