Amazon EC2 Mac instances enable customers to run on-demand macOS workloads in the cloud for the first time, extending the flexibility, scalability, and cost benefits of AWS to all Apple developers. With EC2 Mac instances, developers creating apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Safari can provision and access macOS environments within minutes, dynamically scale capacity as needed, and benefit from AWS’s pay-as-you-go pricing.

Powered by AWS Nitro System, EC2 Mac instances are built on Apple Mac mini computers featuring Intel Core i7 processors, and offer customers a choice of macOS Mojave (10.14), macOS Catalina (10.15), and macOS Big Sur (11.2.1). Access the Amazon EC2 Mac User Guide here.

Benefits

Quickly provision macOS environments

Time and resources previously spent building and maintaining on-premises macOS environments can now be refocused on building creative and useful apps. Development teams can now seamlessly provision and access macOS compute environments to enjoy convenient, distributed testing and fast app builds, bringing additional choice to developers so they can use Mac as their trusted platform, on-premises or in the cloud. EC2 Mac instances offload the heavy lifting that comes with managing infrastructure to AWS, which means Apple developers can focus entirely on building great apps.

Reduce costs

EC2 Mac instances allow developers to launch macOS environments within minutes, adjust provisioned capacity as needed, and only pay for actual usage with AWS’s pay-as-you-go pricing. Developers save money since they only need to pay for the systems that are in use. For example, more capacity can be used when building an app, and less capacity when testing.

Extend your toolkits

EC2 Mac instances provide developers with seamless access to dozens of AWS services so they can more easily and efficiently collaborate with team members, and develop, build, test, analyze, and improve their apps. Similar to other EC2 instances, customers can easily use EC2 Mac instances together with AWS services and features like Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for network security, Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS) for expandable storage, Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) for distributing build queues, Amazon FSx for scalable file storage, and AWS Systems Manager (SSM) for configuring, managing, and patching macOS environments.

Features

Built on Apple Mac hardware

Amazon EC2 Mac instances are built on Apple Mac mini computers, featuring 8th Generation 3.2GHz (4.6GHz turbo) Intel Core i7 processors with 6 physical/12 logical cores, and 32GiB of Memory.

Enabled by the AWS Nitro System

The AWS Nitro System is a rich collection of building blocks that offloads many of the traditional software-defined functions to dedicated hardware and software to deliver high performance, high availability, and high security. Amazon EC2 Mac instances are uniquely enabled by the AWS Nitro System, which makes it possible to offer Mac mini computers as fully integrated and managed EC2 instances to provide 10 Gbps of VPC network bandwidth and 8 Gbps of EBS storage bandwidth.

Scaled on highly reliable infrastructure

EC2 Mac instances are designed so that customers can build critical applications with confidence. AWS has the most secure, extensive, and reliable global infrastructure for running workloads that require high availability, and is recognized as an industry leader for uptime standards. EC2 Mac instances enable your macOS workloads to benefit from the scale, elasticity, reliability, and experience that AWS’s secure, on-demand infrastructure has offered to millions of customers for more than a decade.

This is probably not the byline you were expecting for a review of some Apple hardware. It comes as a bit of a shock to both of us, to be honest, but here we are: I have a Mac mini on my desk, along with a Magic Trackpad and Magic Keyboard. It's all hooked up to an LG 4K 21.5-inch display, all supplied by Apple.

To set your minds at ease; this isn't the first Mac I've used. I have owned a few MacBook Pros over the years, and there was a time a few years go where I was seriously considering giving up Windows and switching entirely to Mac OS X. For now, it suffices to know that if I were to get back into using macOS as my daily driver, the Mac mini is probably the machine I'd want to get.

With the newest Mac mini, gone is the two-core, four-thread 28W Haswell processor with up to 16GB soldered RAM. This machine boasts Coffee Lake processors, either a four-core, four-thread Core i3 base model or the six-core, 12-thread Core i7 chip as found in my review system. This processor is paired with up to 64GB socketed, user-serviceable RAM. Storage has also been shaken up. Instead of a range of hybrid and SSD options, the new Mac mini is all SSD, from 128GB to 2TB. There are four Thunderbolt 3 ports, one wired Ethernet port (usually gigabit, but optionally upgraded to 10 gigabit), an HDMI 2 port, two USB 3.1 generation 1 ports, and a 3.5mm headset jack.

It turns out that hardware can get a lot better when you wait four years between upgrades.

T2: Great movie, great chip

The new system includes Apple's new T2 security chip, and frankly this is one area where Apple's ability and willingness to build things that aren't quite PCs is a virtue. Approximately a thousand years ago, or perhaps in the early 2000s, various key players in the PC industry came together to try to make computers 'trusted.' What 'trusted' means here is providing a system wherein the PC can detect, and block, certain kinds of tampering.

Some of these are valuable to end users: for example, a system can ensure that neither its firmware nor operating system have been modified, thereby blocking any attempts to attack a system with boot kits or modifications to core operating system files. Windows' BitLocker encryption uses the TPM to store encryption keys, with the TPM only letting BitLocker see the keys when it can show that it hasn't been modified. But other capabilities are more contentious: the same protection against tampering could be used to enforce DRM in digital media, for example.

The major output of the Trusted Computing project was the 'Trusted Platform Module' (TPM). This is usually a small chip that contains some private cryptographic keys, a random number generator, some storage for secrets, and some cryptographic hardware. (Modern Intel and AMD systems also offer a firmware-based TPM.) TPMs are abundant in PC laptops and in corporate desktops, but they are often omitted from enthusiast systems and motherboards—while lots of boards have a slot for the TPM, it's usually left empty. Trusted Computing and the TPM engendered a lot of mistrust among certain parts of the PC community, with the DRM implications being of particular concern.

Some of Apple's earliest x86 systems, the ones used by software developers ahead of the company's actual transition away from PowerPC, included a TPM on the motherboard. However, Apple never actually used it, and no Macs today include a TPM. But they do include a T2 chip... which is a TPM and then some.

The T2 has a number of similarities with a TPM. To start, it includes secure storage for keys, which it uses to validate the boot process to protect against firmware and operating system tampering. But it goes further. It includes SSD controllers, and T2 transparently encrypts and decrypts everything written and read to the SSDs in the system. In a sense, it essentially converts any SSD into a self-encrypted drive. Apple has moved a range of encryption and key management tasks to the T2, making it an integral part of the platform.

It's also likely that the T2 can be used in all the bad ways that caused so much concern with Trusted Computing and the TPM. Still, the security implications are compelling, and in many ways the world seems to have made peace with DRM. The utility of streaming media services is overwhelming, and in general the DRM is so well hidden that you never really notice that it's there.

This is useful innovation, and it's a kind that's much easier for Apple to do (as Apple doesn't have the same compatibility concerns) than the PC industry. There's nothing in particular preventing a PC manufacturer from building its own SSD controller, high performance encryption engine, and secure TPM or TPM-like chip; they just haven't. It's probably not worth it for any individual PC manufacturer, because you need the software support within Windows, and not even Microsoft has the power to enforce this kind of thing from above. The company wanted to make TPMs mandatory on desktop systems to get a designed for Windows sticker but had to relent and remove the requirement.
