Does that not all sound correct and reasonable?
Yes you can run a VM inside another VM (with caveats) but it's generally not considered good practice and should be avoided if possible. Performance will be comparatively poor for the nested VM and you usually can't use hardware virtualization within for a nested VM which means software virtualization only and all the associated limitations with it. -- Ian Chapman. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
