how to access WSL on Windows Server on AWS EC2?

Question

WSL stands for Windows Subsystem for Linux. Is it even available on EC2?

All the guide I found talks about Windows Desktop, not server.

As of August 2017, WSL is available on Windows Server insider builds.. Although I haven't tried it, I assume you could start a Windows Server 2016 instance and enable Windows Insider updates. The installation guide for installing WSL on Windows Server is here.
