Hello @Eduardo Nuñez

To install and run Android Studio on an Azure VM, you need to make sure that the VM meets the following requirements:

• The VM must have nested virtualization enabled.
• The VM must have a GPU with OpenGL 2.0 support.
• The VM must have at least 4 cores and 8 GB of RAM.

Regarding the image and OS, you can use any image and OS that supports nested virtualization. For example, you can use the "Windows Server 2019 Datacenter" image with the "Standard_D4s_v3" VM size, which supports nested virtualization.

Once you have created the VM, you need to enable nested virtualization by running the following PowerShell command in an elevated PowerShell session:

Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true

Replace <VMName> with the name of your VM.

After enabling nested virtualization, you can install Android Studio and run it on the VM. If you still face issues, please let me know and I'll try my best to help you.
