Nested virtualization is supported by Microsoft for running Hyper-V inside an Azure VM.

For Azure virtual machines, [check that the VM size chosen supports nested virtualization](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes). Microsoft provides [a helpful list on Azure VM sizes](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/acu) and highlights the sizes that currently support nested virtualization. For internal testing, we used D4s_v5 machines. We recommend this specification or above for optimal performance of Docker Desktop.

## Docker Desktop support on Nutanix-powered VDI
45+
46+
Docker Desktop can be used within Nutanix-powered VDI environments provided that the underlying Windows environment supports WSL 2 or Windows container mode. Since Nutanix officially supports WSL 2, Docker Desktop should function as expected, as long as WSL 2 operates correctly within the VDI environment.
47+
48+
If using Windows container mode, confirm that the Nutanix environment supports Hyper-V or alternative Windows container backends.
49+
50+
### Supported configurations
51+
52+
Docker Desktop follows the VDI support definitions outlined [above](#virtual-desktop-support):
53+
54+
- Persistent VDI environments (Supported): You receive the same virtual desktop instance across sessions, preserving installed software and configurations.
55+
56+
- Non-persistent VDI environments (Not supported): Docker Desktop does not support environments where the OS resets between sessions, requiring re-installation or reconfiguration each time.
57+
58+
### Support scope and responsibilities
59+
60+
If WSL 2 encounters issues - it crashes, fails to start, or experiences performance degradation, for example - contact Nutanix support.
61+
62+
If Docker Desktop itself encounters issues, contact Docker support.
