Hello For most of the AWS flavor as they are either XEN or KVM the answer is no.
I would think the new nitro or baremetal may be able to install and run Virtualbox, not sure if cost will be friendly. If you are open to other clouds, packet.net runs fine, you can provision with Terraform and run packer there.
