AWS now supports nested virtualization (KVM) on virtualized EC2 instances, so a bare-metal
.metalinstance is no longer required to run Firecracker-isolated executors. This updates the executor binary deploy prerequisites to reflect that and lists the supported Intel-based (amd64) instance families. The AWS and GCP KVM guidance is also split into separate sub-bullets for readability.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
