Hi! This isn't something I've directly tried to do with EC2, as I've only done this kind of thing on other virtualisation platforms.
You'd need to have support for nested virtualisation (Intel v-T, is perhaps the right name?), which I don't believe EC2 supports (see: http://cloudstacking.com/posts/running-hyper-v-vmware-or-xen-on-an-aws-ec2-instance.html). — Nick On Friday, 21 October 2016 18:16:44 UTC-4, Moogs wrote: > > Hello, > > We are looking at setting up a build pipeline that spawns a bunch of > different images for different environments.
