You can on rentals with a lot of cores, on occasion.  When the price of Pascal goes up you can get a few in a couple of hours which might cost you about US $10, the idea would be to hold if you think they'll come out of the ~ US 25c per PASC range.  I have made pennies.    A couple of times a few dollars for beer money, nothing really  worthwhile.

On GPU rigs, I don't think there's anything out there to justify renting big GPU rigs for mining.  GCP have business invoice deals where you can mine all you want with big quota increases but you need the invoice for the year, and have to have spent $2,500 for three months.  That's a bit much to spin up a few 8-GPU instances unless you just get really lucky and recover everything, and profit on top.  The saving grace of GPUs I think are their versatility.  CPUs are out for most, almost everything.  ASICs can quickly become useless and once everyone starts snapping them up, if you're a smaller mining operator then you could be on a losing streak, especially if the coin goes down in a hurry.
