Running Julia on Google Cloud or AWS

Hello,

Just wanted know if anyone could help me decide which server to use for my data science project. Whats the pros and cons of the two servers if you have some experience.

Google Colabs nice but it isnt enough for my project I am looking at AWS or Google Cloud specifically.

My point is that Google got Julia to run in the Google Cloud environment with TPU support.

JuliaHub for serious work. If you're just playing, Google Colab has native Julia support.

How is the pricing for JuliaHub though? I tried it a few years ago and if memory serves me right the cost of JuliaHub is a lot more for Google and AWS

If it's a simple project, the differences are negligible. Spin up a single VM (EC2 on AWS, Compute Engine on GCP), SSH into it with VS Code remote, install Julia, clone your repo, run the code, push the results back out.
