If you look at actual status, we already have 10 metal nodes in parallel 
(and we can't provision more due to AWS lack of nodes in these zones).
So yes, if each tenant can just ask for *one* metal node and adapt 
workflow so that they can run their ci jobs on top of that single metal 
node, that would (in theory) work ... It just needs some orchestration 
at the tenant jobs side
