# Inception

Inception is a fully supported type 2 hypervisor for running virtualized workloads on normal AWS instances without the need for expensive metal isntances.

Inception is a great tool if you need full control over orchestration such as the ability to do instance pause/resume of vms or you wish to run firecracker or if you want to run kubevirt. (For instance you might need way to run unikernels inside your existing kubernetes installation).

You may also run normal linux vms inside Inception as well. Inception is available as the latest ubuntu release.

[NanoVMs Inception](https://nanovms.com/inception) is available on the AWS market. <https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-lwk72eg6wfo3i>.

If you need more information or you've already started an Inception instance and need further guidance please get in touch with the NanoVMs team.
