This is supported in recent versions of BuildBot with a special kind of slave:

Interesting. Coming back to "PSF may spend money", let me say this: If somebody would volunteer to set up slaves in EC2, and operate them, I'm fairly certain that the PSF would pay the bill. It might be useful to have two people operating them, so that the knowledge and the load is shared. Regards, Martin
