Bamboo can be hosted locally on your own machines without having 
to deal with EC2 in any way. It's just that if you want remote 
test runners (as well as not being free unless you can get an 
open source license from Atlassian), EC2 is one of the available 
options to run instances on.

I actually use Bamboo with a plugin I made 
(https://shardsoft.com/stash/projects/SHARD/repos/dubplug/browse) 
for my own stuff, but this plugin is far from being complete and 
doesn't really handle dependencies at all (as well as currently 
relying on the text format of test output with 'tested' not 
changing...). I have my instance running on my server, with the 
web interface at 
https://shardsoft.com/bamboo/browse/SHARD-SHTOOLS.

A very popular choice for D users is TravisCI, which I believe is 
free for open source and by default handles multiple platforms, 
something which Bamboo does not easily do in the $10 version.
