How to use/enable kvm in amazon aws instances?

I am not able to run VMs in amazon aws EC2 using kubevirt (currently using t2.large & c5.large instance type). The VMs always get stuck in Scheduling and gives the message: 0/2 nodes are available: 2 Insufficient devices.kubevirt.io/kvm.

$ sudo kvm-ok
INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
KVM acceleration can NOT be used

How can I enable KVM in amazon aws instances

Nested virtualization is something that needs to be enabled on the hypervisor.

There's nothing you can do in your VM, if Amazon did not allow it at their level. I don't think EC2 offers that option. You may want to look for some hosting provider offering with dedicated servers.

Edit, as I see a downvote: yes, I stand corrected, AWS does offer with bare metal instances, allowing for such thing. Feel free to contribute if you otherwise see anything wrong here ...

You can - on bare metal EC2 instances. However I was not successful with establishing direct network connection from the aws vpc subnet (or vpn) to the VMs deployed on the EC2 instance (I'm using ovs on EC2). From what I know you can only do it via NAT - if that's sufficient for you go for it. Here are the details: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-bare-metal-kvm-demo Just note that bare metal EC2 instances are not cheap - like 4$ per hour.
