Interesting. Have you migrated anything from Travis to that Jenkins
instance? What did the process end up looking like?

But this is actually more interesting for the workloads we don't run on
Travis ... our integration tests ... which launch tons of VMs within the
space of a few minutes. Is that the sort of thing your Jenkins instance
can run? ie: nested virtualization, and/or root access etc?

Cheers,
