Microsoft Azure has a N series (N for Nvidia?) that is GPU focused but yes, this is meant to give you a cloud GPU for stuff like CAD or Geophysics processing, rendering, etc. These are not gaming focused GPUs.

I know a few people that gave up trying to source a videocard this year and switched to cloud gaming like GeForce now.

I have also set up my own private cloud by basically sticking a PS5 in a server rack and then allowing multiple people (who can't find a PS5 on shelves) to sign into it as their primary console. They can then take turns playing remote play with the games everybody buys together.
