unable to start 'Docker for windows' on Azure Win 10 VM

Question

I just downloaded "Docker for Windows" from the Docker Hub website https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows

I am running an Azure VM with Windows 10 Pro N. The VM's size is 'Standard B2s (2 vcpus, 4 GB memory)'

I am getting the error below:

I read this link: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/nested-virtualization-in-azure/

Is this issue due to VM size? If so, how do I install the version of Docker for this VM?

Answer 1

Only certain Azure VMs support nested virtualization. This link shows which ones support it.

Look for the machines with "***" in the "vCPU: Core" column as the article states:

***Hyper-threaded and capable of running nested virtualization
