I'd be interested in this. I've been doing infrastructure work for the Chromium project for a few years, and when done right can be exciting and a good force multiplier for development. Being used to a cloud environment (provisioning a VM within minutes, easy networking, storage, etc, all I can do myself as cloud project owner without intermediaries or becoming a sysadmin myself). I found it harder to start on Gentoo infrastructure projects, and having some kind of private cloud, or Kubernetes-like deployment would IMO help a lot. Paweł
