AWS is probably encouraging users to move to a new generation of instances so that HVM virtualization can become the new standard for Linux and they can stop supporting PV at some stage. The one disadvantage of running PV as opposed to HVM was the fact that you needed a region-specific kernel object for each Linux instance.

Adding more machines. To add more instances to the cluster, just launch more with the same Container Linux Config, the appropriate security group and the AMI for that region. What is the difference between Xen HVM and This article has a good pros/cons write up: AWS Virtualization : HVM vs Paravirtualization, quoted here: > Xen supports 2 virtualization types, ( Meaning Amazon supports 2 types as it runs on Xen ) 1.

Hello, AWS AMI Virtualization Types: HVM vs PV (Paravirtual VS Hardware VM) Amazon Machine Images (AWS AMI) offers two types of virtualization: Paravirtual (PV) and Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM). Each solution offers its own advantages. Today we’ How to setup a Linux server on Amazon AWS
Migrate AWS PV to HVM. If you are stuck on PV / paravirtual then you can either be on the t1.tiny (free but not big enough) or the m3.medium. The later is hugely expensive.To move to a lower hardware, you need to convert PV to HVM.
AWS is aware of recently disclosed research regarding side-channel analysis of speculative execution on modern computer processors (CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753, and CVE-2017-5754). This is a vulnerability that has existed for more than 20 years in modern processor architectures like Intel, AMD, and ARM across servers, desktops, and mobile devices.
