I hope somebody can help me with this issue.

I have a windows server 2019 hosted on azure. I would like to install docker for some tests.

Before to jump to docker, I updated the operative system

I downloaded docker desktop from docker website.

Installation went without any issue.

But when I try to start the app, I get the error that the Hyper-V is not running.

At this point, in the server management tool => add features I checked if Hyper-v was installed and if containers was also installed, After this I went to services.msc and restarted Hyper-v managment and also set to auto hypervisorlaunchtype and restarted the VM. When I logged in back, I had the same issue.

I know this is a case of nested virtualisation, but I was wondering if is achievable on a cloud platform.

Can please anyone help me to understand this and if its possible or/and what I am doing wrong

I tried to install the docker desktop in my environment and it was successful with out any issue. Created a vm with windows server 2019 and updated to latest and installed docker desktop from here

Nested virtualizations is supported in azure but all the vm sizes not support nested virtualization, So Try to deploy the VM with any of the following series D_v3; Ds_v3; E_v3; Es_v3; F2s_v2 – F72s_v2; M and check.
