Anyone with spare AWS credits? Please check this CloudFormation template for running the Folding@home client on AWS spot instances. The template installs Ubuntu 18.04, NVidia CUDA 10.2 drivers and client version 7.5.1. Client is started automatically after installation and runs until the template is removed, auto scaling group is scaled in or spot instance is reclaimed. The number of instances to run is configurable in the template. Other configurable parameters are just the SSH key and VPC to use.

I am new to Folding@home and open to comments if something was not right in how the client is set up.
