How do I know what size Azure VM supports nested virtualization?

Question

I guess I am looking for documentation that doesn't seem to exist.

I need to spin up a VM on which I will be running a docker application.
This requires nested virtualization.
The VM size I picked does not appear to support it.

All I can find it some old docs saying that it is enabled on an older Size.
How do I find the availability for the current set of available sizes?

Hi David,

Dv3 and Ev3 VM sizes supports the nested virtualisation.

Also you can looks for machine type in azure docs to find if the nested virtualisation is supported.

Hi, actually using this list that supports nested virtualization, I can't enable Hyper-V role. I already tried change location; I was using spot instance but remove them wasn't work. In all cases, the error was the same: the virtualization support was disabled at Bios level. what can I do?
