Can I run ESXi on EC2?
If so, any suggestion how to do that.
I would like to launch an ESXi machine and host routing VNFs in it on AWS.
VMware Cloud on AWS. A pretty big commitment as the minimum cluster size is several hosts and the pricing is "talk to VMware sales".
In theory, you could install ESXi yourself on one of the bare metal instances. Tricky, there is no boot from ISO image, and I don't know what the VM importer would do with an ESXi image.
