Hello, friends! Long-time listener, first-time caller. I got a note this morning from Amazon AWS about their new self-serve creative studio in the cloud: > **[Amazon Nimble Studio – Build a Creative Studio in the Cloud | Amazon Web...](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-nimble-studio-build-a-creative-studio-in-the-cloud/)** > > Amazon Nimble Studio is a new service that creative studios can use to produce visual effects, animations, and interactive content entirely in the cloud with AWS, from the storyboard sketch to the final deliverable. Nimble Studio provides customers... It seems to be a (relatively) user-friendly set of management tools for the set of AWS services you’d need to run some workstations and shared storage. Before I dive in… are any brave souls here giving this a spin? ---

This is incredible? How much does it cost to run a decent flame workstation? Aloso how does it work from a confidentiality POV with the footage? ---
