OpenGL-over-VNC-ready GPU cloud instances

I'm looking for a cloud provider that has GPU instances that support OpenGL apps out of the box, preferably on Ubuntu. EC2 has GPU instances, but massive configuration is required to allow an app to see OpenGL. I found one project that will allow you to do this with CentOS. As you can see, the steps required are substantial. https://github.com/rncry/gpu-desktop This seems like a service some cloud provider somewhere might be offering, but thus far I haven't found what I'm looking for. Anyone know of something?
