Ask HN: What to $600 AWS credit only valid for 7 Days?

Posted by SoulMan on Friday May 08, 2020 @12:09PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I don't have any active project to host but got this promotional credid. What will be the best use of it ? Trying to do some POC around kubernets and MySQL but I doubt I would be able to spend that much within 7 days.

GPU mining. You should be able to burn through that in a few hours.

How much could one expect to get out of $600 of AWS GPU mining?

$500? $10?

30 to 40 cents.

Just kidding, 600 (USD I'm assuming) will get you a GPU instance for nearly a month. That might net you 100-200 if you pay attention and mine the most valuable cryptos
