What AWS instances can support nested virtualisation?

0

I'm working on using a single Ubuntu instance on ARM architecture to support 3-5 VM's running on that single AWS instance.

As far as I'm aware, only 'metal' instances support HVT however if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm open to being proven wrong.

Hi, you're right, metal instances are required: it's also asserted by this blog post

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/building-a-cloud-in-the-cloud-running-apache-cloudstack-on-amazon-ec2-part-1/

Most EC2 instances are VMs that don’t support nested virtualization. To get access to the 
bare hardware, you need a metal instance type.

Best, Didier
