Hello,
RedHat-hosted Koji servers offer an invaluable service by allowing all of
us, package maintainers, to build all of "our" Fedora packages. I guess that
that infrastructure is not cost-less for RedHat and and the quality of
service is great (for instance, the wait in the queues, before Koji actually
builds the packages submitted via the command-line client, is not so long).
As Fedora is pretty advanced in the cloud/virtualisation arena, we could
imagine a "Koji Cloud", hosted on VMs offered by volunteers. For instance, I
could contribute a few VMs in Europe (hosted on
http://www.ovh.co.uk/). Our

the following infrastructure:
I believe Seth Vidal looked at auto-starting koji builder instances in
the cloud a while ago. Hopefully he'll chime in.
The one thing you don't address is security. If we're going to push
stuff to a public cloud, how do you ensure that the builder VMs aren't
compromised?
