Is there an instance type on Azure Cloud that has a Windows OS, a GPU and supports nested virtualization?

Question

Hello,

I'd like to set up instances that run a Windows host OS, with a nested Linux machine in them. The Windows host needs to have a GPU.

I couldn't find an appropriate virtual machine type - does anyone know?

Thanks,

Jeni.
