Yes! This is possible.
If you're using VMWare with the vagrant vmware plugin, you simply just need
to add this provider
setting to your Vagrantfile:
guest.vm.provider :vmware_desktop do |v|
v.vmx['vhv.enable'] = 'TRUE'
v.vmx['vhv.allow'] = 'TRUE'
end
Supposedly as of VirtualBox 6.0 you can do this too, but I've read some
where that it is only supported
on AMD architectures. I think in theory this should work, but I don't have
the right hardware to test it:
guest.vm.provider :virtualbox do |v|
v.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--nested-hw-virt", "on"]
end
I'm not sure if you need anything special for Hyper-V...
If anyone is curious I have a Vagrant guest that does exactly this. It has
some scripts that installs VirtualBox 6 and
Vagrant 2.2.4:
