In this configuration, the AMI and boot is paravirt (PV), the kernel is making hypercalls instead of privileged instructions, and the system is using paravirt network and storage drivers. It's all a bit confusing, and I wrote about this in 2014: [Xen Modes]. AWS called this [enhanced networking]. The first was c3.
