(sorry I didn't reply in-thread, I'm new to HN, re-posting response here:)

Exactly! The main local requirement is to have hardware virtualization available (e.g. /dev/kvm) but that should be fine on your local linux machine. Won't work in cloud machines or on Mac ARM in current form but maybe if I extend

There are some providers that offer KVM nested virtualization, I think Google Cloud, Digital Ocean ... any others?

True! GCP does. I haven't tested it yet. I didn't know D.O does. If anyone knows others, I'm interested too!

We (NanoVMs) can run (both unikernel and normal linux) virtualized workloads on plain old ec2 instances (eg: t2.small).

Interesting, thanks for sharing!
