In their ToS you mean? Not that I've seen. What we did was, spawn an
AWS machine at the start of a job, start a watch dog timer for the
machine to self destruct and then run commands remotely on the distant
AWS machine from CircleCI via SSH. Very low-tech. Not particularly
robust. There are other ways to do this, hopefully more robust.
