Why else would i buy a telescope for?!??
I mean with the cloud you can have your computing power distributed over a larger geographic area, plus the hardware cost is lower and setting it up is relatively simple. I've heard stories from the physics department at UofT where students preferred to use AWS over other available options (supercomputers in Canada) to run their models and stuff.

Serious question, what is the need for supercomputers when you have access to cloud computing in all its glory?
