btw, you can achieve the same with Jenkins and Docker. Jenkins has a
docker plugin, which can spawn ephemeral or persistent docker build
slaves (very similar to EC2 slave if you're familiar with it). Puppet
isn't required in this setup as you can use Dockerfiles to maintain
the virtual machines. Another interesting project that you might find
useful is Jenkins Job Builder from OpenStack infra folks. It allows to
write the Jenkins jobs in yaml (human readable) and store them as
plain text in your favorite SCM like git.

Cheers.
