#### Difficulties

- AWS doesn't provide a way to check the integrity of large files
- Adusting memory allocation for workers can by finicky when file sizes vary
- EKS version on K8S is actually several versions behind the newest version, so it may not be entierly trivial to switch cloud providers

#### Benefits

- Coordinate computing resources more effectively
- Increase and decrease dapacity dependingg on need
- Cloud agnostic
- Readiness and responsiveness check for workers
