We are very happy with the following simple cloud setup:

 - AWS linux machine
 - jenkins
 - jenkins has xvfb plugin installed
 - jenkins runs sikuli from java API wrapped in junit tests under maven
 - sikuli tests are recorded to mpg file with avconv

This results in regular junit reports with a video of each test. Very
useful and works like a charm.

If you are bound to the windows platform you have a challenge to make a
windows jenkins slave and keeping it happy with a virtual monitor. I
have done this before in another project. I got it to work but it was
much more tedious and sensitive then the above linux setup. Tech detail:
I had to keep an rdp session alive from the master jenkins machine to
the windows slave machine, just to keep the virtual monitor alive in the
slave. This, by the way, made it also possible to record the test to a
video ;-)
