Hi everyone! I'm wondering if it's possible to deploy an ESXi or AHV hypervisor within an AWS EC2 environment to run virtual machines. Essentially, I'm looking to create a nested hypervisor setup. Any insights on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can actually run a hypervisor on a bare metal instance in AWS. So, yes, technically you can set up an ESXi or AHV on a bare metal instance, but keep in mind it’s not the typical use case.

It’s generally not recommended to run a hypervisor on top of another hypervisor. You're entering into the realm of a nested hypervisor, which can lead to performance issues. If you're looking for a solution within AWS, you might want to consider using VMware Cloud on AWS instead.
