Questions tagged [nested-virtualization]

For questions about nested virtualization, a case where a virtual machine acts as a hypervisor and runs another virtual machine.

In most circumstances, using a virtual machine as a hypervisor (i.e., nested virtualization) requires some additional configuration, and has some additional pitfalls on top of those of "regular" virtualization. This tag should be used for these additional considerations only and not for general questions about virtualization.
