It's on my backlog of experiments that I'll probably never get to, but has anyone had success running QEMU on, say, AWS (virtualized) Windows servers to run Linux VMs? I presume HAXM isn't relevant for attempting this?

I don't think any of the public cloud providers support nested virtualization.

  Several do support nested virtualization under Linux; I've tested that. I don't know if they do under Windows, though.

    [Disclaimer - I work for Microsoft] Azure just released nested virtualization VMs. I've tested Hyper-V running in such a VM and it worked well. Have not yet tested HAXM.

  Azure and GCP do now.

Can I ask why? Can’t you just spin up any number of smaller instances running Linux AMIs instead?
