That's pretty neat. I hope they have enough sandboxing in place that this will not be used as a means to ddos innocent bystanders.

Unfortunately, with our new s1 core type, it's even easier to DDoS services. ;)

In all seriousness, we've given thought to this issue, and the solution we've found isn't technological. Users who want to use over a couple of hundred cores simultaneously are capped until we've approved them. It's exactly what Amazon Web Services does as well.
