indeed. you can run the engine, but not the hosts.
you could deploy ovirt-engine for managing a gluster cluster, which can 
live as amazon instances.
for engine demo purposes, you could run ovirt engine with virtual hosts 
that use fake-qemu or plain qemu (host would need to falsly report they 
have vt enabled).
