It's a license violation to run macOS on non-Apple hardware, virtualized or
not.
As far as I can see, both UCLA and FIU have the ability to host macOS
slaves. FIU has two 10.12 and UCLA has two 10.13. All you need to do is to
swap one of them.

For CentOS, I have asked the Memphis site maintainer to deploy a VM a long

Please CC the site maintainer on this mailing list thread, so that the
community can hold them accountable.

Replication of Jenkins master is out of scope. This thread is about slaves
only.
