Make sure your laptop or test server has the folllowing setup:

   -

   *Virtualization and nested virtualization support*

   Make sure that virtualization extension is enabled on the CPU,
   otherwise, you might need to enable it in the BIOS. Generally, if
   virtualization extension is disabled, dmesg log would contain a line
   similar to: kvm: disabled by BIOS

   *NOTE*: you can wait until everyithing is setup to reboot and change the
   bios, to make sure that everyithing will persist after reboot
   -

   *Verify nested virtualization is enabled* $ cat
   /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested This command should print Y if
   nested virtualization is enabled, otherwise, enable it the following way:

   Edit /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf and add the following line: options
   kvm-intel nested=yReboot, and make sure nested virtualization is enabled.
   -

   *Setting up libvirt*

   Make sure libvirt is configured to run: $ systemctl enable libvirtd $
   systemctl start libvirtd
