  Ahh ok. I imagine you would lose all the nice Nitro stuff though like enhanced networking etc which is a bummer.

    There is Xen-on-Nitro, which AWS developed to continue to support customers using Xen to run on EC2 instances featuring Nitro: https://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2021/11/xen-on-nitro-aws-nitro-for-legacy-instances/ https://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2021/11/xen-on-nitro-aws-n...

      That’s great to know, thank you

  This isn't good advice. People should probably use the hvt backend on AWS.
