If they are, those are virtual machines hosted by Amazon. There are no physical machines to seize.

“ If they are, those are virtual machines hosted by Amazon. There are no physical machines to seize”

Not exactly correct. All virtual machines run on physical machines. The virtual part is that they are subsets of physical hardware (multiple virtual running on each physical). For the most part, virtual machines don’t SPAN multiple physical machines and a virtual is fully contained within a single physical.

So yes. There are machines that could be seized. The admins can tell what physical a virtual is on at any given moment.
