I saw previous conversations but didn't find anything related to running this project on amazon EC2. Can anyone please tell me which version we can use on amazon for macOS Big Sur installation. thanks

I'm not an expert here but it was my belief that EC2 does not support nested virtualization (VM in VM), so this does not work. But if I'm wrong, please correct me because I would really like this too!
The only option on AWS seems to be bare metal mac, they offer full mac mini without virtualization for about 0.70$/h.

It's still unclear how to get it running on a bare metal mac. Docker really wants you to use Docker Desktop.
