It's bare metal. I wonder if you run virtual box on it and have a VM in your VM

Yo dawg! But seriously, as a regular VB user on macos: it works, but it’s a bit shit and slow. Will probably work better with vmware, i’ve heard their equivalent Fusion might be free now.

Probably not. Most virtualisation doesn't allow arbitrary levels of nesting. But I'm not sure how AWS's Macs are set up so who knows.

I know AWS has certain bare metal instances that are expensive as all get out, that support virtualization.

And then run an emulated Acorn Archimedes. Emulating a BBC Master.
