On-demand resources are certainly being considered (and we had these in the 
past,) but I will point out that ephemeral (“on-demand”) cloud builds are in 
direct opposition to some of the points brought up by Allen in the other 
jenkins storage thread, in that they tend to rely on persistent object storage 
in their workspaces to improve the efficiency of their builds. Perhaps this 
would be less of an issue with an on-demand instance which would theoretically 
have no resource contention?
