      Amazing.

      Is nested virtualization possible only with M-series VMs?

      What business needs and scenarios are you trying to solve with this capability?

      @AndrejNov:They will be available with other machine sizes as well that support hyperthreading.  You should see them light up on Dv3 and Ev3 when they come out in the next few months.

      @pazdedav:we get asked about nested for things like training, dev/test as well as being used for better container isolation when you build your own infrastructure.

      This is really cool!

      Have 2 questions... Will Nested Virtualization be supported for production environments?

      and

      How will licensing be handled... meaning could we see Windows Server Datacenter licenses in Azure similar to coverage provided for on-premises hosts or even use AHUB to cover a Azure VM spun up as Hyper-V Host?
