    +1, Ryzen CPUs are currently taking over the market when it comes to mid / high end workstations for freelancers and developers, not to mention earning market shares for servers, there is no rational reason for this status-quo. Come on MS, it's 2019!

    Just bought a new development machine to find out that nested virtualization is still not supported :(

    Why is this still an issue? Ryzen CPUs are mainstream for over 2 years now. For WSL2 people have to enable Hyper-V. For Docker too if they want to run containers the recommended way. I want to be able to start KVM-based VMs and I want to be able to do this without having to disable Hyper-V and use third-party software.

    PLEASE support this. I bought a ryzen for more cores for vms. Now I have to move everything to kvm. So annoying.

    Got a new Dell Poweredge R6415 EPYC server. It badly need nested virtualization support in hyper-v

    Adding my vote to this item. Would be really helpful in small dev/test environments. I would think it would be useful in Azure now that you have some Epyc processors there as well.

    Well i just had a bid for 6 spanking new gen servers.... Between SAMBA 4 and KVM .. what is microsoft providing? WE know what they're still not providing, and that's nested virtualization on the Ryzen Threadripper series cpu's.
