I've got RR working under digital oceans and it works great there. We've built a harness for generating replays. Once a replay is generated I match the replay with the bug and comment in the bug looking for developers to investigate. When they respond they can investigate by ssh'ing. Example: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1223249#c12
If we can we should prefer to have an ssh end point running rather than ship a large VM image. It's also my understanding that while RR works inside a VM, the trace will not work if the VM has changed host. However right now we've decided that it's really overkill for the time being. Producing interesting RR replays is really trivial at the moment. Finding enough engineers to analyze them is not.

Does using a VM make it possible?
