CCIE Lab on Amazon
Good morning everyone!
I was talking to a coworker which also works as an IT consultant for SMB, and he showed me some good options on Amazon where they charge a few cents/hour for decent linux machines.
After that, I had the idea of renting one of these machines so I could build a huge CCIE Lab using IOL for a low price.
Has anyone ever tried it? Any experiences?
Another guy here is looking forward to achieve CCIE too, and it would be possible for us both to share the same lab, which would make the price way more attractive.

Amazon e2c? I believe you can run CSR 1000 on those. But if you have a powerful enough PC yourself then no need to rent servers.. -

Actually not...
I was thinking about renting a CentOS machine, and run IOU images (lots of them -30 to 40-) on it, no CSR or hypervisor.
Something like this: My Howtos and Projects: Cisco IOS on UNIX (IOU) - Installing and Running (Lite)
But on the cloud, paying a buck/hour.
