If anyone is interested.
Amazon Thinkbox Deadline is now free for 10 render nodes. Used to be two.
Still works with SI.

Haven't looked into Thinkbox Deadline or the this. Not sure if either can use available renderers ie Sycles, Arnold or Redshift, etc Not sure if it runs on MS Windows. Maybe Windows Subsystem for Linux https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about. Definitely NOT plug and play.

I was using CGRU another opensource application, Works well with Blender, AE, Fusion and Softimage, But I always liked Deadline, Better interface than CGRU and gives you more control over your renders.
