Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V on EC2: Hypervisor launch failed

Question

I tried to setup an EC2 c5d.xlarge instance with an Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V AMI (ami-015a9a58d5a8d36a5) but when starting the Windows Server Manager I get this error log:

Hypervisor launch failed; Either VMX not present or not enabled in BIOS.

(please see attached screenshot for full details).

Are the any EC2 instance types which support usage of Hyper-V beside the i3.metal ones?

According to what is reported here:

Is possibile to run Hyper-V on Amazon EC2 Bare Metal Instances
