Just an idea ... how about running Windows VMs on a real (In the sense of not virtual) server (no matter what OS)? We could setup Jenkins to fire up a VM, start the Mustella suite on that VM as soon as it's up and discard it as soon as it's done?
There is a Vagrant Plugin for Jenkins that is able t fire up a VM for a job and shut it down afterwards. I guess with a setup like this the hanging jobs problem should be solvable.

No idea why I'm not getting any attention from the free MSDN program. The PMC has the credentials to log into Erik's VM and reboot from within the VM and same for my VM. Getting others access from the Azure manager might require giving up more control than we should, especially if my credit card is on the line. It turns out that Apache doesn't have Azure VMs anymore. They did for a while. Good thing we didn't use that otherwise we'd be scrambling. I think we may be able to get Linux VMs from Apache, but I think Apache would prefer that volunteers put up the "money" for these VMs by paying (or getting for free) VMs outside a.o to offload bandwidth costs. -Alex From: Tom Chiverton <t...@extravision.com<mailto:t...@extravision.com>> Reply-To: "dev@flex.apache.org<mailto:dev@flex.apache.org>" <dev@flex.apache.org<mailto:dev@flex.apache.org>> Date: Thursday, September 24, 2015 at 5:43 AM To: "dev@flex.apache.org<mailto:dev@flex.apache.org>" <dev@flex.apache.org<mailto:dev@flex.apache.org>> Subject: Jenkins builds What are the blockers to getting both our Jenkins back on line ? I think Alex is hoping a free Microsoft VM will arrive for his one, that's apacheflexbuild.cloudapp.net right ? What about flex-mustella.cloudapp.net ? Could we get the accounts shared around more people so we're not reliant on one person being around to reboot them ? Or run them on Apache VMs ? -- Tom Chiverton Lead Developer e: <mailto:t...@extravision.com> t...@extravision.com<mailto:t...@extravision.com> p: 0161 817 2922 t: @extravision<http://www.twitter.com/extravision> w: <http://www.extravision.com/> www.extravision.com<http://www.extravision.com> [Extravision - email worth seeing]<http://www.extravision.com/> Registered in the UK at: 107 Timber Wharf, 33 Worsley Street, Manchester, M15 4LD.
