The AWS EC2 virtualization team invented and maintains the Nitro system. And that team is overwhelmingly based in Seattle, WA USA.

  You sure about that? Maybe it's just a coincidence but the low-level people I've talked to are almost never based in Seattle.

    The Nitro Hypervisor team is (mostly) in Berlin :) The Nitro _card_ teams are elsewhere

      Fair enough. The comment was about software, and to me the Nitro hypervisor is software while the Nitro card is hardware and firmware. ;-)
