ec2

Setting the scene for automation In the previous post I wrote about how to spin up a EC2 instance with Rstudio server, so some of the more computational heavy R processing can be moved on AWS infrastructure.

I use a Thinkpad from 2015 for my day to day work, and you can imagine things are getting slower as time goes by. Recently I had to test some computation in an R package I am developing and my computer froze multiple times.
