AWS re:Invent 2017 - Introducing Amazon EC2 Bare Metal Instances

Amazon EC2 Bare Metal instances provide customer applications direct access to Intel processor capabilities, such as Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x), that are not available in virtual machines, allowing them to run non-nested virtualization workloads. Bare Metal instances are built using the next generation Nitro system, a collection of AWS-built hardware offload and hardware security components that enable high performance, high availability, and improved security for critical applications.
