## Overview
-Arm® Virtual Hardware is an accurate representation of a physical System on Chip and runs as a simple application in a
-Linux environment for easy scalability in the cloud and removes dependency from silicon availability.
-Powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), developers can launch Amazon Machine Image
-(AMI) running as a virtual server in the cloud. The Arm Virtual Hardware is configured with the Corstone™-300 MPS3
-based Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP), compiler and other tools.
