Thanks for writing this up. It convinces me to give up on AWS and either find another solution or live with what I have now.
I don't think you ever mentioned -- are you already using `git worktree` to get multiple source checkouts or are you working off a single build tree? I find using it essential to reducing context switching overhead. Also AWS is by far not the only game in town when it comes to server hosting. If you don't mind getting something on a month-to-month basis rather than hourly then bog standard server hosting providers are probably a much cheaper option. Since they don't offer any of the fancy managed cloud features you're unlikely to need. I can recomend Hetzner in terms of price, if you don't mind just getting some old(ish) 4 core, 8 threads hardware they have some really affordable options in the 30EUR/mo range (look for the "Server Auctions" stuff). --Daniel
