Even on x86 cloud instances you are likely to run with TCG if
the host does not support nested virtualization. So the question
really is what specific cloud instance type this was running
on, and if KVM was actually used or not.  From what I could
find on the web, Amazon EC2 only supports KVM guests inside of
bare-metal instances but not any of the normal virtualized ones,
while other providers using KVM (Google, Microsoft, ...) do support
nested guests.
