Subject: [edk2-devel] Does CI support nested virtualization?

Hi,

I was thinking about running a simple test with Cloud Hypervisor (VMM
relying on KVM) to validate the associated Ovmf target can be properly
booted. Unfortunately I get an error about /dev/kvm not being
available.

Is there a way to let the Azure Pipelines know that we need a machine
that supports nested virtualization? Something like D2s_v3 should work.

If not, can we point to an external machine that we would provide as we
would know it has the nested virtualization feature?

Thanks,
Sebastien
