Incorrect guide on enabling the Nested Virtualization in Azure

Open bhargavmodi opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

The README.md file provides following link as part of the requirement to enable the nested virtualization in Azure: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/nested-virtualization

Though this Azure link provides details on nested virtualization, but it is incorrect for the android emulator:

  • As per the prerequisites mentioned in that link is that Hyper-V host must be Windows Server 2016/Windows 10 or greater, hence this guide is suitable for Visual Studio phone emulator and not for the android emulator. Reason being for running the android emulator, KVM must be available as per the README.md. Now, KVM can be available only on Linux OS.

Requesting update the README.md with proper documentation on how to run android emulator in Azure.

Hi, I'm far from a windows expert. Would you be willing to create a pull request with the proper documentation?

Hi @pokowaka I'm also learning. I found below option from AKS (Azure kubernetes Service) team to run Android Emulator. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/ecosystems/android?view=azure-devops

For this Azure pipeline, it requires the macOS agent. Hence, I guess it is not based on the android emulator container. Here is the issue link I raised on Azure: https://github.com/Azure/AKS/issues/2628
