Try Sunshine - it's technically moonlight ported for AMD, and I've tested it before. Not as quick as cuda transcoding, but it works, all you need is moonlight clients to connect to it.
Reserved just means that you commit to use/pay for that instance for a specific amount of time (1-3 years). It doesn't matter if its on or not, you pay for the entirety of the commitment. In return, you get significant discount (up to 70%). Useful for 24/7 workloads (like database workloads)...
its a VM hosted within AWS' infrastructure - simple as that. Biggest difference would be the vcpu & memory allocation, as you cannot configure them separately (you can with storage/ebs) - think t-shirt sizes basically.
yep. For the SA:A cert, acloudguru should be enough (at least in my case it was). I speak in the context of having hands-on with the AWS ecosystem of course, so take advantage of your free tier.
I don't believe so, I've only ever used it on a 1:1 basis. I do have a couple of encoders and a gaming instance hosted in the cloud(tested with tesla t4 & a10g - close to 3080 perf), and have heavily tested both parsec and moonlight (on both h.264 and hevc). For actual gaming, moonlight all...
I'd look at moonlight as well (especially if you have nvidia). I tested both parsec and moonlight, and still prefer the performance of moonlight. Although parsec has closed the gap significantly, i consistently get 4k (2160p) on apples to apples hardware with moonlight. also, parsec is not...
