This is probably a question best asked to Noah. He knows the capabilities of the
VM hosts better as far as actual technical requirements. However moving storage
to a CSP does mean that scaling PyPI out by launching additional instances is
easier. I think he's talked about using gluster or similar as well which would 
have
similar properties (at the expense of the PSF needing to maintain the cluster 
ofc).
