I generally don't use my VMs that often. Once I've created my Oracle EPM applications, completed UAT, etc. on the VM I'd like to be able to switch them on and off only when I actually need them.
I've been thinking it might be more economical to rent an environment with AWS EC2. I'm trying to understand if it'll be cheaper than what I'm currently doing with virtualbox in terms of processing power, mintenance and scaling. Has anyone else had experience with this? My biggest concern at the moment is the cost of RAM and CPU usage to run the EPM suite.
