Do you have enough EC2 quota to run tests in (ephemeral) nova instances? In Ubuntu we do that, i. e. I have a permanent "controller" instance that has the cloud credentials and an autopkgtest checkout, and worker instances [1] which take AMQP test requests and call autopkgtest with the ssh runner and the "nova" setup script [2] -- i. e. the actual test is being run in an ephemeral instance, with full "isolation-machine"/KVM capabilities like mucking around with kernel stuff. I can talk you through this if you are interested.
