Using EC2 or Azure to scale a distributed C # build system?

Quite a few build systems and CI support the steps for pushing build output in Azure, but I have not seen any that can actually run on Azure (or EC2). Ideally, I would like to be able to deploy an arbitrary number of instances (depending on the number of pending shipments) in order to deal with the actual assembly + quality strings (UT, FXCop, other static analysis tools) + the process of checking the source repository.

Are there existing tools that can do this, or has someone created something that they can discuss?

Thank!

Jenkins Open Soup The CI server has an EC2 plugin that automatically extends EC2 instances depending on your build load. I could not find anything for Azure, but I highly recommend Jenkins - it is easy to configure, neat, and has many features.
