Maybe for software it's reasonable (tests should be parallelized more as you go above a 5m build), but for infrastructure it's ridiculous. No IaaS API responds remotely quick enough to bring up whole environments from scratch that quickly.

Agree. I would definitely put any infrastructure thing on the CD side though, as it is longer indeed.

You can test your software faster in CI using Docker compose. Something along these lines: https://fire.ci/blog/api-end-to-end-testing-with-docker/
