Why is Amazon doing this?

 What's important is that the service means that developers are getting cloud-based access to a full Mac mini, which should help them build and test their software.


Macs can be used to build rendering and CI / CD farms for Apple environments, and to consolidate the development of multiplatform applications on AWS, whether Apple, Windows and Android, accelerating the launch of new software on the market. 


“Mac instances run macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and 10.15 (Catalina) and can be accessed via the command line (SSH) or remote desktop (VNC). Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for EC2 Mac instances are optimized for EC2 and include the AWS goodies that you would find in other AWS AMIs: an ENA driver, the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) , CloudWatch Agent , CloudFormation Helper Scripts , support for AWS Systems Manager and ec2 user account. You can use these AMIs as is, or you can install your own packages and create custom AMIs (the homebrew-aws repository contains additional packages and documentation on how to do this). ” 


Amazon will make macOS Big Sur support available at some point. You can access your Mac (s) using SSH and VNC for remote desktop use. 

M1 Macs will be available on AWS next year 


The new Macs are based on Intel i7 processors, instead of the powerful M1 that Apple now places inside the Mac mini. Amazon says it will install M1 Mac minis in its data centers early next year. The company believes that demand for Intel-based Macs will remain as long as the devices are in use. 


AWS Macs have 32 GB of memory and are connected to Amazon's Nitro system . 


The brand says it will make new AMIs available each time Apple updates its operating system. The cost is US $ 01,083 per hour, billed per second, which is around US $ 26 / day.
