https://www.gitbook.com/book/phirov/deploy-wrf-at-aws/details looks like a recipe resource.

Adam quotes 100,000 core hours per simulation year; goal is to do 7 years.

On AWS the EC2 instance c4.8xlarge features 18 cores (2 vCPUs each) at $1.60 per hour but this is reduced on the spot market to $0.50 per hour.

For all 7 years: $19k or $2800 per simulation year. I suggest obviously running one year to see what the actual cost proves to be.

We can also look into using EnginFrame to provision the runs.

Closing as I haven't seen any movement on this in a few months.
