Hi Joel,  
Could we get a bit more information? Usually, if you can run Spark in any given system setup, you can also run Hail.

Most Hail users (at least at the Broad) are running on Google Dataproc at the moment, which manages the deployment from a Hail jar on a bucket. This post has more info: [Using Hail on the Google Cloud Platform](http://discuss.hail.is/t/using-hail-on-the-google-cloud-platform/80)
