On: FreeBSD on Firecracker

[laurencerowe]

It's a shame neither AWS nor macOS on ARM support nested virtualization. It would would make it far easier to develop and deploy Firecracker based tech.

Afaik you can do virtualisation on the .metal variants.

Actually you can do virtualisation on any instance type afaik, but only with .metal instances you can use hardware acceleration.

[saurik → laurencerowe]

FWIW, AWS a1.metal instances are pretty small and thereby reasonably cost effective for working with virtualization tech.

Their metal offerings are puny in general though(as in, not a ton of options).
