I'd be interested in this.

I've been doing infrastructure work for the Chromium project for a few
years, and when done right can be exciting and a good force multiplier
for development.

Being used to a cloud environment (provisioning a VM within minutes,
easy networking, storage, etc, all I can do myself as cloud project
owner without intermediaries or becoming a sysadmin myself). I found it
harder to start on Gentoo infrastructure projects, and having some kind
of private cloud, or Kubernetes-like deployment would IMO help a lot.
