XCP-ng, Hyper-V and VBS
-
I've seen a couple threads referring to nested hyper-v not working with XCP-ng. We're trying to implement Windows VBS (virtualization based security) in our 2019 servers. This apparently uses Hyper-V to achieve this. I've tested some of the settings used in the other threads in effort to get hyper-v to work, but have been unsuccessful at this point.
Just thought I'd check, has anyone had success getting it to run yet?
Thanks

@tzerod Nested Virtualization doesn't work with Windows guests in Xen.
The same will be in Xen Server, Citrix Hypervisor and Oracle VM Server. -
Darn, I thought that might be the case. I have heard it does work with with ESX and Proxmox. I think Proxmox is KVM based, but not 100% sure.
I do hope Xen gets this figured out. This likely isnt a big deal for linux guests, but newer Windows guests (and their related security features) are starting to require this for their advanced security configurations.

@tzerod I'm waiting for this too

Thanks for the feedback. We'll try to see if we can talk about this for the next Xen Summit in 15 days.

Awesome
Thanks Olivier. -
@olivierlambert Hi Oliver,
Did you have a chance to talk about nested virtualization on xen summit? -
Yes I had
Now at least everyone is aware on the more pressing requirements on Windows. Next steps will depends on what we can do with the Xen Project and Citrix (also aware about this).
