Windows itself is technically running in a VM if you have Hyper-V enabled (not quite that simple, but that’s a reasonable approximation). Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor which means it runs directly on the underlying physical hardware, and both Windows as well as any VMs you create are running on top of Hyper-V.
People don’t actually do this, right? Docker inside docker inside a VM inside another VM? On windows? Right???
Isnt that exactly what minikube is? Kubernetes in docker.
I’ve used docker-in-docker images, but its usually not fun.
I’ve seen docker inside a VM before but that was just a dev box for testing
That’s super standard for actual infrastructure
That’s the most reasonable part of the image
Are you not losing loads of performance by stacking vms like that?
I’m pretty sure docker recommends that it runs under WSL when on windows.

Oh that’s an interesting tidbit, didn’t know that
Yep, can confirm
