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.

Answer 2

Microsoft offers images with preinstalled docker enterprise. This works even on a B2s VM. Just select any of the "Microsoft Server 2019/2016 Datacenter with containers" image while creating the VM.

Answer 3

Azure doesnt yet allow for nested virtualization.
You need to use DSv3 or E3 instances for that. Just use docker like you normally would
