Its a good opportunity to learn more on devops for me. If you want something hands off you can use the AWS / DO / azure cloud plugin to create and destroy VMs on demand. If this isn't your thing you can always pay for the CI services themselves.

Personally, I'd recommend terraform or Ansible specifically for the creation of cloud resources. The Jenkins agent would be able to launch those using plug-ins.

Yes I create the master using terraform, but the agents are spun up on demand. Keeps the costs reasonably low without loosing out on performance.
