Amazon brings macOS to its cloud service for the first time
Amazon will run Apple’s macOS on its cloud service for the first time, allowing app developers for Apple’s devices to access the operating system on demand, the company’s cloud unit Amazon Web Services said on Monday.
The service, called Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Mac instances, runs on Mac mini computers and will support developers creating apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Safari, the cloud unit said.
Amazon previously offered the EC2 instances service for Windows and Linux.
Amazon Web Services Inc (AWS) said it will use the version of Mac mini computers with Intel’s eighth-generation 3.2GHz Core i7 processors for EC2 Mac instances.
