HN's policy of automated title mangling strikes again - the original title is "How AWS Added Apple Mac Mini Nodes to EC2." That is, this article isn't a discussion of the mere fact that it was added (we discussed that a few weeks ago), but it has pictures of rackmounted Mac Minis with their custom hardware.
As of this writing, only 1-2 of the comment threads are related to the actual subject of the article (why Apple doesn't produce a rackmount form-factor machine, why you can't virtualize macOS on commodity x86 hardware) and the rest are just about the fact of Macs on EC2 (why Apple doesn't run their own cloud, whether the pricing is cost-effective, etc.).
