We have a test system where a VirtualBox VM snapshot is started before each major test. The snapshot contains a state of the tested system specific to the test.
This is a memory-intensive testing.
There is an idea to move the daily test run into Amazon EC2 Large instance (7.5G of RAM).
My understanding though is that EC2 is a supervisor itself. Will it allow another VM software (VirtualBox) to get started under it?

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is the web service you use to create and run virtual machines in the cloud.
License-included Visual Studio on Amazon EC2 is now available in all AWS commercial and public Regions. You are billed per user for licenses of Visual Studio through a monthly subscription and per vCPU for license-included Windows Server instances on EC2.
VirtualBox users can virtualize Oracle VM Server or KVM within its VMs. To set up VirtualBox nested virtualization, you install VirtualBox onto the OS, create a VM and then install a copy of VirtualBox on that VM. With nested virtualization, you can give a user access to a VM that runs a nested copy of VirtualBox.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is the Amazon Web Service you use to create and run virtual machines in the cloud (we call these virtual machines 'instances').
Well, Amazon now allows to import VirtualBox and VMWare VMs. Not all operation systems are supported yet, but they work on it:
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/vmimport/
So there is no need to run VirtualBox under Amazon, one can just import and clone the VM as an instance.
