Yes I could, but that is annoying because of spot pricing and having my instance shut down, and it has fluctuating prices
It’s also annoying because then I need to make sure my little “lab” setup is well automated, and I’m lazy :)
Also, I literally said “ It's not financially a good idea” so I’m confused why you think I don’t know that.
Spot pricing and instance availability don’t apply to on metal hosting. You’d have your own machine dedicated to your own use only, at a locked in price.
