Question

I am getting an error upon installing docker on azure virtual machine.

Answer 1

Here is a solution if you are getting this error on Azure Windows 10 VM where you have installed Docker:

1. Ensure Windows Hyper-V featutes are enabled by running PowerShell cmdlet:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All -Verbose

2. Ensure Windows Containers feature is enabled by running PowerShell cmdlet:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Containers -All -Verbose

3. Ensure Hypervisor is set to auto start in the Boot Configuration Database (BCD) by running in elevated command prompt the command:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype Auto

After running all of the above and you restart the Azure VM, Docker should be starting normally.
