Besides some great tooling out there if you wanted to roll your own, you can literally rent windows/linux computers, with persistent disks. If you have good internet, you can even use it as a gaming PC, as I do.

What sort of frame rate and cost do you get? I have the highest tier GeForce now subscription and it sometimes drops to horrible conditions.

Is there an easy way to off-board the persistent disk to cheaper machines when you don't need the gpus?

Like imagine, setting up and installing everything with the gpu attached, but when you're not using the gpu or all the cpu cores, you can disconnect them.

If you have docs on how to do this, please let me know.

With AWS (and probably most other cloud VPC services) the disk is remote from the hardware so you can halt the CPU and just pay for the storage until you restart.

AWS also provides accessible datasets of training data:
