Running that instance for a month would only cost you $6552, not almost 18k$. Of course the price can fluctuate a bit with spot pricing, but the graph on the N. Virginia region has been pretty stable recently. The price of 1 V100 is higher than running an AWS instance with 8 of them for a month.
Right, so the acquisition cost for the 16 x P104-100 GPU box is still less than the AWS 8x V100 instance spot pricing over the course of 1.5 months.
