I don't believe its possible to get macOS (or atleast wasn't) onto an AMI in anyway.

I'd say it is possible to run Darwin on AWS, but I have never tried. FreeBSD runs well, so we know that any OS with drivers will boot on AWS.

They're Apple after all, so they can build macOS to boot from a standard environment - UEFI, kernel that doesn't check the copy prevention string on SMBIOS, etc.

Us, mere mortals, are more restricted, as we don't have the keys of the kingdom.
