I have implemented something along those lines in the Red Hat internal Copr deployment. There's something like middleware between Copr and VM providers which allocates the VMs a flexible way on multiple places. This feature is tracked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1334701 . This would be really trivial to deploy for Fedora Copr - if there was use for it (are there any resources which could rise throughput in Fedora Copr?). That said, this is not much of technical problem to me, but rather policy/funding problem nowadays. > Perhaps supporting even some limited form of auto-scaling for when it > needs to "burst" to support more build traffic using clouds or > hypervisors?
