Hi All,
I'm running into an issue while nested virtualization.
Running Virtual Box VM inside Azure VM crashes VM and Agent Status sets to 'Not Ready'
I can then not log into the VM via RDP, until I redeploy the Azure VM.
If I start up a Virtual Box VM again, same thing happens.
Here is the VM's specs:
Operating system: Windows (Windows 10 Pro)
Image publisher: MicrosoftWindowsDesktop
Image offer: Windows-10
Image plan: win10-22h2-pro-g2
VM generation: V2
VM architecture: x64
Agent status: Not Ready
Agent version: 2.7.41491.1102
Size: Standard D8s v3
vCPUs: 8
RAM: 32 GiB
Security type: Standard
@deherman-MSFT thanks for the reply. Which logs specifically would provide the info that would help? Very easily reproducible, all I have to do is redeploy the Azure VM, RDP to the VM and start up one of the Virtual Box VM's.
It does not happen unless I start a Virtual Box VM.
I could try a newer series such as Dsv4 or 5.. if you think that may help.
@deherman-MSFT unfortunately v4 or 5 do not show for my subscription :(

I recently had another user that resolved their nested virtualization issue by moving away from the older v3 series. I would recommend this first to see if it resolves your issue.
Search for Event Viewer and select System under Windows Logs to view the errors.
@MMartin What is your region?
@MMartin They should be available. You might need to request quota for those.
@MMartin Did you have any success getting this working? Let me know if you still need assistance.
@MMartin
Can you share a little more details about this? What do the logs say on the Windows OS? Is this easily reproduceable and does the crash happen under no workload with no VMs running or only with a VM inside Virtual Box? Have you tried the newer series such as Dsv4 or 5?
