Oh this is wildly cool! Do cloud providers like aws allow you to upload a custom system image to run as a vm?

Absolutely. Everyone who deploys unikernels to the public clouds does this. Some are better fits than others. AWS for instance you can build an image and deploy an ec2 instance in a matter of seconds.
My information is probably out of date but historically yes. Also historically operating systems other than Linux were pretty iffy.

I know you can run BSD on AWS for example.
