One limiting factor is the CPU features required, that are not virtualized on AWS (they are on digital ocean, and that's about the only cloud provider where they are ttbomk). Relatedly, roc, is it possible to replay, on a different host, with possibly a different CPU, a record that would have been taken on the cloud? Does using a VM make it possible? If yes, having "the cloud" (or a set of developers) try to reproduce intermittents, and then have developers download the records and corresponding VM would be very useful. If not, we'd need a system like we have for build/test slave loaners.
