To perform cloud/ edge computing using matlab, got to know that I have to use parallel server toolbox license. As, I'm a research student. Can I buy "student suite" license matlab, without any additional charges for using AWS cloud for using either Amazon S3/ Amazon EC2. Does AWS charge separately, though we have student suite matlab license.

Hi Divyashree,

MathWorks has several Cloud solutions

It's possible that your university already has Parallel Computing Toolbox and MATLAB Parallel Server. If so, there's a reasonably good chance you'd be able to use MATLAB Parallel Server license on AWS. Understand that there will be Cloud expenses (I suspect any vendor's "free" tier would not be best used for MATLAB, due to compute, memory, etc.).

I would suggest contacting Support ([e-mail]) and they can walk you through your options based on the license you currently have.
