[Mesa-users] MESA in cloud computing (AWS for example?)

[Wolf, William M]

I second Frank’s suggestion. If mesa-web is sufficient, it’s an excellent option.

Another option is to have students use mesa docker. Depending on the resolution and nuclear network, weaker student machines might become RAM starved, though.

Otherwise, google cloud platform does (or did) offer educational grants for use in classes. I didn’t use it for mesa, but I had a decent experience with them for other educational endeavors.

Good luck!

Bill
