Is it possible to have a nested VM on your bare-metal servers?

kvm containerlab routeros nested-vm

Hi, I am trying to setup Containerlab with RouterOS CHR (MikroTik) instances in a nested VM, so I can do virtual-networking labs. I’ve tried doing it with one of your shared servers and it said KVM isn’t supported. Is this possible with your bare-metal or even your shared servers now?

@mhinkson You are correct. Nested virtualization isn't supported with our virtual instances. This should be possible with Bare Metal. At this time, we don't have an ETA on the release date. Keep an eye on our blog for any updates on the release of Bare Metal.
