第 22 章 Creating nested virtual machines


You can use nested virtual machines (VMs) if you require a different host operating system than what your local host is running. This eliminates the need for additional physical hardware.

警告

In most environments, nested virtualization is only available as a Technology Preview in RHEL 10.

For detailed descriptions of the supported and unsupported environments, see Support limitations for nested virtualization.

22.1. What is nested virtualization?

With nested virtualization, you can run virtual machines (VMs) within other VMs. A standard VM that runs on a physical host can also act as a second hypervisor and create its own VMs.

Nested virtualization terminology

Level 0 (L0)
A physical host, a bare-metal machine.
Level 1 (L1)
A standard VM, running on an L0 physical host, that can act as an additional virtual host.
Level 2 (L2)

A nested VM running on an L1 virtual host.

Important: The second level of virtualization severely limits the performance of an L2 VM. For this reason, nested virtualization is primarily intended for development and testing scenarios, such as:

  • Debugging hypervisors in a constrained environment
  • Testing larger virtual deployments on a limited amount of physical resources
