* How to choose which server to open upon login
* This depends on which type of science you want to do. Placeholder to fill this in once server names stabilize.
* How to choose which size server to open upon login?
* Make sure to use `mini` size for writing/debugging/testing before switching to larger sizes
* On demand means an AWS server that starts when the user asks for it (e.g., start your Fornax server), runs as long as you continue to use and pay for it.
* Make sure to use `mini` or `standard` size for writing/debugging/testing before switching to larger sizes for full runs of code at scale
* `On demand` means an AWS server that starts when the user asks for it, and runs as long as you continue to use and pay for it. This is in contrast to the `spot` servers at AWS which are used for short runs and are cheaper, but can be revoked at any time (per AWS needs)
