That's an interesting take that I didn't think of. I think the burden on having a cloud-based development environment on ops teams will be non-zero though - some set of individuals (or a dedicated team) will have to maintain these very beefy hosts of your code that run the tests for you.

That said, I'm not against the idea in principle if access to the internet is guaranteed and constant. In some places that I'm in, internet access is shoddy or just too slow for this kind of thing, and my preference there would be to work easily on a local machine without access to the internet.
