At Champs-Libres, we are facing a similar issue: pre-renders tiles for
an area like Belgium from big cloud servers paid on an hourly basis.

We are thinking about an ansible script which will start a server in the
cloud, launch the required tasks, and then stop it.

Did you think about this ? Do you want to collaborate on such project ?

If needed, we can also consider to give some help or money to host the
service.

If you need it / want it, we can also discuss about that.
