Hi,

So yes, it would be possible and I just need to see how many we'd have 
in the ec2 ready pool and also need to be to have a AMI ID list for 
Rawhide for x86_64 and aarch64 :)
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/cloud/ lists Fedora 36 but I guess there 
are other Rawhide AMI already available somewhere else (but not publicly 
advertised, or not easily findable)

What I found was this but it's a Wiki page and don't know if that's kept 
up2date :
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_37_Rawhide_20220621.n.3_Cloud

(that page only lists x86_64 FWIW)

I'll try to ask internally to Fedora releng folks about where we can 
easily find such list and then it's just a matter of adding it to .yml 
file used by Duffy and it would then appear automatically as new pool

Once we'll have that list and also *ack* from Camilla,  we can start 
adding Rawhide (and why not Fedora 35/36) as options, next to CentOS 7 / 
8s and 9s
