Re: QEMU hosting

[Fosshost]

Hi Cleber

Nested KVM is not currently supported, apologies.

We are looking to change this in the future.

We use KVM to power the VMs (qemu).

Kind regards,

Hi Stefan,

I've made an application for one x86 virtual machine on behalf of the QEMU
project.  It's not clear to me if the VMs, in addition to being powered by
KVM according to the docs, if they offer (nested) KVM.

That would be an improvement from what we get from the GitLab shared runners.

Thomas,

Would you be able to tell if nested KVM is available for the x86 VMs?

Thanks,
- Cleber.
