Or, even by only starting the VMs when needed, and shutting down when
done. Either way, we need a plugin for creating or starting the VMs on
demand. This is something we looked into before, but never had enough
time to test and finish it:

Indeed, Jenkins jobs can collect files after a run. We do that for the
rpmbuild jobs (QA requested that so they can test the RPMs, no idea if
it is used by anyone):

Capturing the logs and all by Jenkins would be nice. Hopefully we can
place those on a Gluster volume and use our own software for storage :)
