why the cloud is so powerful

I find this to be incredible. The author shows just how scalable the cloud is by spinning up an azure instance capable of petascale computing. I don’t know exactly what it costs to build something like that and run it but it would easily be to the tune of many millions of dollars. Instead you can just run an instance on azure and pay a few thousand dollars for the compute costs. Truely amazing and enabling.

Best,
Ethan
