AirSim on Azure - Requirements

[WreckItTim]

Heya,

I am looking to submit a budget request for Azure resources to run AirSim on it. The Azure pricing is rather convoluted and especially difficult to gauge when I have not used it before.

My question is: what resources should I budget to run one instance? I will be using reinforcement learning on almost a daily basis, and will be switching between the Blocks, AirSimNH, and CityEnviron releases. Depending on the cost for running 1 instance, I may allocate several more instances to be running in parallel.

In general, since Microsoft seems to be pushing for an AirSim and Azure dichotomy, I think an Azure resource article/suggestion/blog would be hugely beneficial to the community. Especially nice would be an AirSim pricing suggestion on the Azure page.

Best,
-Tim
