I worked for a large organisation that had this need. It would require ~10K cores and a large number of GPUs, for a period of a few days, approximately once a month (or less).
That sort of ask appears to be too much for amazon, and they requested for us to pre-book the capacity for the whole month, wiping out any cost savings we might have made over just buying the hardware.
