AWS uses KVM in the kernel but they have a different, non-open source userspace stack for EC2; plus Firecracker which is open source but is only used for Lambda, and runs on EC2 bare metal instances.

Google also uses KVM with a variety of userspace stacks: a proprietary one (tied to a lot of internal Google infrastructure but overall a lot more similar to QEMU than Amazon's) for GCE, gVisor for AppEngine or whatever it is called these days, crosvm for ChromeOS, and QEMU for Android Emulator.
