We had to revert NixOS/nixpkgs#511177 as raw image is too big for Hydra..
We should start building images in GHA. but that doesn't work for aarch64 due to lack of nested virt IIRC, which means we have to move to repart #354 but that is blocked on #322 which we cant make progress on as EC2 x86 bare metal instances don't have EFI support but many people use them as they reliably support /dev/kvm. 8th generation instances also support kvm but not all, so a lot of people use these bare metal instances for nix builders....
other options is to store the output compressed in Hydra? or to convert from VHD to raw after fetching in Hydra?
Other fix: move the AWS image back to auto size instead of fixed size. That should make it smaller than the hydra limit too I think
Lots of interdependent mess here T_T
