[llvm-foundation] Minimum Requirement Infrastructure

At PlayStation we already have some remote engineers using Ubuntu on EC2 as
their main build environment.  At the level you've suggested (one build per
day) the minimum requirements testing is probably something I can fit in to
our existing cloud usage (thus minimizing any cost to the foundation), I'm
happy to investigate that possibility in parallel with any conversation you
have on llvm-dev.

This was on my list to explore too but I expect this will be harder to
configure, I'm happy to look into this too and report back.

Thanks,

Simon
