With the onset of EC2 Mac Instances, it was a lifeline for Apple Developers. It facilitates with
The Mac Mini Computers are the Source of the computing power at AWS Data centres connected to AWS Nitro System via Thunderbolt.
It connects to VPC and boots from EBS volumes. Security Groups and numerous AWS services. Just like how a typical Linux instance does.
Instances are meant to scale your build and test fleets of Macs. Practically, more resources = more expense.
The fun part is that no Hypervisor is active and you get the full bare-metal performance of the M1 hardware.
The Dedicated host reserves a machine just for your usage. How cool does it sound?
In our case, we will use the following hardware Configurations:
The Mac mini, featuring M1 SoC with 8 CPU cores, 8 GPU cores, 16 GiB of memory, and a 16 core Apple Neural Engine.
NOTE: For now, it's only available in preview in US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon), with other AWS Regions coming at launch.
As I told in the Introduction, there is no VM involved. Each bare-metal server is hosting a Mac mini.
