Innovative AWS Nitro System
AWS Ground Station offers customers a cutting-edge virtualization infrastructure with the AWS Nitro System. This system enables quicker innovation, reduced costs, increased security, and the introduction of new instance types to benefit customers.

The Nitro System consists of the Nitro Cards, which accelerate I/O for services like Amazon VPC, EBS, and EC2 storage; the Nitro Security Chip, ensuring a highly secure cloud platform; and the Nitro Hypervisor, which efficiently manages memory and CPU allocation to provide near-bare metal performance.
