VMWare

VMWare Workstation

Out of the box VMWare workstation will not function if Docker Desktop was previously installed - the two do not function properly together. These are the services (hyperv, containers, WSL) that need to be on for Docker Desktop and associated kubernetes cluster to come up.

If you wish to run VMWare Workstation instead of docker for finer VM level control disable the following services)

  • disable hyperv, containers, virtual machine platform - on windows systems to be able to spin up VT-x nested virtualization (docker and kubernetes in the VM) and WSL2
  • Solves "VMware Workstation does not support nested virtualization on this host."
  • Solves "Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform." - Workstation 16.1.2
