Cloud charges

Vantage Express is distributed as a virtual machine image. This how-to uses the EC2 c5n.metal instance type. It's a bare metal instance that costs over $3/h.

If you do not wish to pay for cloud usage, you can get a free hosted instance of Teradata at https://www.teradata.com/try. Alternatively, you install Vantage Express locally using VMware.
