Hello @Glenn Maxwell !

I see you are getting this error on Docker

The VM with the "v" are usually the ones you need !

For Azure VMs:

Azure supports nested virtualization only on new sizes that introduce Hyper-Threading Technology running on the Intel processors
Here is a list of Azure VM Sizes that support Nested Virtualization:

    D_v3
    Ds_v3
    Dv4
    Dsv4
    Ddv4
    Ddsv4
    E_v3
    Es_v3
    Ev4
    Esv4
    Edv4
    Edsv4
    F2s_v2 – F72s_v2
    FX4 – FX48
    M

The VM sizes mentioned above, are the current ones that support nested virtualization. List could be updated in future, please see documentation
