It's definitely a different world!

But to contrast it. It took a week to get the computers and set them up. We used up a room in the office. I had to constantly babysit these machines.

A couple of years ago I did a thing at Amazon, and with a simple AWS command I spawned 10,000 machines, ran my job, and shut them down. Done in 3 hours!

The flexibility that the cloud gives you is pretty awesome. Although, yes, weird too!
