Docker seems interesting. But it seems like there is room for something even better.
I imagine a Docker-like product where you can write a Dockerfile for your checkin test suite as easily as you can write .travis.yml right now. And then you can run a command to easily submit this "job" to AWS, Google Compute, or whatever other cloud provider you want.
Maybe I'm thinking about this right now because my Travis build has been stuck waiting to be scheduled for over 24 hours for no apparent reason. I'm at the mercy of the Travis people to take a look at this. What I imagine is a world where cloud execution is so commoditized that I can say "sorry Travis, too slow, you lose my business today." I can hit CTRL+C, change my command-line to --submit-to=aws.amazon.com, and run exactly the same test suite there instead.
Oh, to dream...
