I need the same thing :) Basically a VM for each CPU-bound process I need to start from a queue. Did you find anything useful?

yes! a fellow HN user e-mailed me about his project "Spawner"

Thanks for sharing!

That looks promising, but I don't want to handle any of this myself :/

I want a service where I can start a new VM fast by posting to an API, have it run some long running JS server code, and the VM should close itself when it's done.

My use case is often CPU bound, so a small VM with a single CPU is just fine.

Thanks, it looks exactly like what I'm after. Signed up for the private beta.
