We've only verified EC2 during our research, but you do make a good point here. Nitro wasn't vulnerable. Firecracker might have been, considering that it is also built on top of KVM. Firecracker was not specifically designed to also defend against hardware vulnerabilities [1], so I don't see an immediate reason why it wouldn't have worked.

We had to limit the scope of the project somewhere unfortunately, but it would have been nice to check Firecracker and Lambda as well.
