In terms of cost/expense, AWS is very cost effective for this type of work load.
If you build out the skill set and scripts to run this type of job, you can process the images, store them on S3 and kill the running infrastructure. You can then run this process for big and small workloads as the needs arise on demand without having to own servers or space in a data center.
