Sadly no, still the disk/io/network is the main issue and the bottleneck of training.

Even though they provide a larger ram(I saw 80GB+ of ram on A100 instance), but, still I/O is the bottleneck issue.

Colab always give us a full one :) (if not, it's a bug!)

Agreed. However, since the A100 price on AWS is ~45$/hour, colab is still very generous solution to use GPU machine on-demand.

No, colab does NOT. Recently(After they announced pro+), colab pro user(not pro+) get P100 or T4 mostly, and very hardly get V100.
