Well, sure, but the host environment makes a bit of a difference for
the technical effort. For example, this means we can't (for example)
simply spin up a cluster in AWS at will. Perhaps using Docker for
macOS might be an option? I haven't played with it yet though.

Or is the build cluster already using VMs? I know nothing about it.
