(should I move to substack .. hurrrgh)
I'm releasing a bit of terraform and saltstack code that I've been sitting on for months: https://github.com/TTimo/CloudGFX-Linux
I wanted to expand my test lab without dealing with local stuff, and generally be able to spin up a distro (Fedora, Mint, Endeavour etc.) on AMD or NVidia hardware easily. I wanted to use this to test the Steam client as we were seeing a few distro-specific odd behaviors that maybe I could just remote in and reproduce over VNC (it turned out this wasn't all that useful for that goal).
But! AWS has been offering systems with AMD GPUs and that's kind of neat and new. For many years the only option in cloud was NVidia. So I cleaned my stuff up and made it easy to use. It'll pop a Fedora 38 VM that you can VNC into and has ready to go mesa drivers.
So of course it's already outdated. Updating to Fedora 39 would be nice, remoting into a Wayland setup like this would be interesting. And of course adding support for NVidia, and a bunch of other distros. (I might look into the Wayland part).
