They must or someone else will.
- detaro 6y agoNobody will without Apple allowing it and taking part, and Apple has not been supportive of things like this. E.g. any macOS hoster and many companies doing macOS software would love to throw money at Apple for permission to run "hackintoshes", but no dice, and the structure of this offering suggests AWS didn't get special treatment either.
- thrwn_frthr_awy 6y agoI don't think I'm understanding. You are saying nobody will do it without Apple's support, but then say that AWS is doing it. There have been Mac Mini hosting for years, so I'm missing what is different about this.
- detaro 6y agoNobody will put M1 chips on their own motherboards/blades without Apple support. This is just offering Mac Mini hosting integrated in AWS' platform, with some custom hardware (that AWS also uses elsewhere) attached to the Mac Minis for storage virtualization etc.
- thrwn_frthr_awy 6y agoGotcha. Yes, that was what I was referring to as well. I don't think I was very clear in my original comment. I just meant if AWS doesn't offer M1's via Mac Minis that someone else will.
