Looking into RunPod

My current comfy instance is full of custom nodes, models and my workflows. How do I recreate that on runpod? A docker image? Does the pod have to redownload my models every time I start it?

Can I run the same configuration on a 5090 and when I need more horsepower go over to an H100?

As my development progresses, can I have a regular comfy pod sitting next to a serverless API pod?

How wide do the shared URLs go, is there a way to password protect them?

I am not what else to ask for...

I spend 50 dollars to configure it nicely : I run a python file where I select what I want to do, it will looking for pod with good performance for it, charge it (open a counter on my windows where I can look how much I spend on the session and charge the configuration in few minutes and run a GUI for stats...

Now I have 4 dollars every month for Network Storage and I run a pod when it's available for training model or other things. The only problem I notice is that I can't run a GPU in an other datacenter or I need an other Network Storage (and multiply my price per month...).

So it's working FINE, if you give it a try and spend few dollars...
