3 years ago That may have been a bit of an exaggeration. But I'm basically not going to use anything other than services I trust (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure) because there is nothing to prevent the owner of the hardware from snooping on the network or putting malware. So, it must be a popular service provided by a decent company. Also, the upload speed of the server needs to be about 30Mbps, and since my home internet connection is only about 20Mbps upload speed (and it causes problems with other internet usage), so I can't set up the waifu2x server at my home.
EC2 2020 9~12 data transfer cost is here. There is currently one server, internally load balancing from nginx http server to two waifu2x API processes (In the past, there were three servers running each process, but with better GPUs, there is now only one).

To find a better service for
waifu2xit is important that interested people could validate the amount of resources needed. I am not sure how hard it is to publish the current usage with money spent. It is a single AWS server that receives all traffic? Or is it load balancer where it could be measured?I've heard about some FinOps folks that are concerned with questions of real-time billing of resources.
