Using CC engines on a virtual computer in the cloud.

I am considering using virtual computers in the cloud with a CC engine in order to speed some projects up. Technically, it seems possible using fr instance Appstream service from AWS. Did anyone consider this before or even better try it? I also wonder if you can use 2 engines with the same project, one being on your local computer and the other in the cloud (not Bentley's but a virtual computer).
