RHEL 8 AMI on AWS EC2 Instance Compatibility
Posted: 5. Aug 2021, 17:50
Hello, can anyone tell me if Virtual Box is compatible with a RHEL 8 AMI on an AWS EC2 instance? Thanks so much.

Depends on if it is a physical server or a VM and if VT-x/AMD-V is passed through.DevGuy wrote:on an AWS EC2 instance
Virtualbox 6.1.x requires "Virtualization Technology": VT-x/AMD-V/SVM. If Amazon doesn't make this available, you'll be stuck in 6.0.x or earlier, and only 32-bit VMs with one CPU, Windows 8.0 or earlier, perhaps similar limits in Linux.
If you get a VM instead of a physical server, that would be nested virtualization. Virtualbox is only officially supported nested in a Virtualbox VM (or maybe KVM?). It may work, it may not.
