Amazon EC2 Nitro hypervisor is technically based on KVM[1], which
systemd-detect-virt identify propely from CPUID. However the lack of
CPUID on aarch64 (A1, T4 instance type) prevents a correct
identification, impacting hostnamectl and systemd-random-seed. Instead
it's possible to identify virtualization from DMI vendor ID.

<para><command>systemd-detect-virt</command> detects execution in
|
|
a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization
|
|
technology and can distinguish full machine virtualization from
|
|
container virtualization. <filename>systemd-detect-virt</filename>
|
|
exits with a return value of 0 (success) if a virtualization
|
|
technology is detected, and non-zero (error) otherwise. By default,
|
|
any type of virtualization is detected, and the options
|
|
<option>--container</option> and <option>--vm</option> can be used
|
|
to limit what types of virtualization are detected.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When executed without <option>--quiet</option> will print a
|
|
short identifier for the detected virtualization technology. The

following technologies are currently identified:</para>

<para>If multiple virtualization solutions are used, only the
|
|
"innermost" is detected and identified. That means if both
|
|
machine and container virtualization are used in
|
|
conjunction, only the latter will be identified (unless
|
|
<option>--vm</option> is passed).</para>
|
|
<para> Windows Subsystem for Linux is not a Linux container,
|
|
but an environment for running Linux userspace applications on
|
|
top of the Windows kernel using a Linux-compatible interface.
|
|
WSL is categorized as a container for practical purposes.
|
|
Multiple WSL environments share the same kernel and services
|
|
should generally behave like when being run in a container.</para>
