N/A

Additional context

Consider worker setup on top of specialized hardware, e.g. GPU optimized hosts.

Customer / coder may need to directly invoke the activity against a staging / prod cluster for development.
The workflow-less activity functionality will provide better interactive development experience, especially for ruby / python.
