Hi @Lavdeep Sharma ,

To run Hyper-V within a virtual machine it is called "nested virtualization", not all Azure VM sizes support this, I suggest checking which sizes support it over here:

Azure compute unit (ACU)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/acu

For more information about Nested Virtualization, see:
