Hi the Operating System on the TeamCity elastic build agents is Windows Server 2012 R2. This runs on VMware vSphere with nested virtualisation enabled.
Within the virtual machine we run; - Packer 1.0.0 - Oracle VirtualBox 5.1.28 - VMware Workstation 12.5.7 - Vagrant 1.9.5 - Chef DK 1.6.1 - TeamCity Agent 9 - various other development tools The Operating Systems we build with Packer include Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2 and 2016, as well as Red Hat Linux 7. We experience the timeout issue using both the virtualbox-iso and vmware-iso builders on all of the above Operating Systems when using TeamCity and Packer 1.0.1 or higher. Cheers Neil.
