  • ec2-macos-init

    EC2 macOS Init is the launch daemon used to initialize Mac instances within EC2.

  • There are some cloud providers that can do Mac instances. They are not cheap, but because they are OpEx instead of CapEx, some companies prefer that.

  • OSX-KVM

    Run macOS on QEMU/KVM. With OpenCore + Monterey + Ventura + Sonoma support now! Only commercial (paid) support is available now to avoid spammy issues. No Mac system is required.

  • Ah fair enough, you can hack ESXI and run MAC OS on an intel PC. There is a little software blocker on it but it isn't too difficult to get around. This assumes you have a dedicated hypervisor PC for ESXI. https://github.com/hugepants/esxi-unlocker
