If that is what you are after.=20 >=20 I have no idea how to =E2=80=9Erent=E2=80=9C CPU time secondwise on AWS = other than registering and configuring e.g. a 12.1 FreeBSD machine. I = went to lengthy application process where I had to give credit card = info, phone number etc. and it ended up in having a choice of testing = (free of charge) a wimpy machine 1 vCPU, 512MB Ram, 20GB SSD.
