( Minishift CentOS VM on ec2 ) Error starting the VM: Error getting the state for host: unexpected EOF

I provisioned a CentOS VM on ec2 and installed Minishift but it doesn't start and I realize this has something to do with nested virtualization.

What exactly should I do to use this existing CentOS VM on ec2 to run minishift ?

What is a proven way to install MiniShift on a cloud VM ?

I am going to deploy only projects for experimenting.

I am connecting using 'ssh' from my Windows laptop.
