Nested virtualization in Horizon?

I have contractors who're requesting that i Enable Nested Virtualization in Vmware Horizon,

Does anyone have any experience with this procedure?

I haven't found much info on the web regarding this issue.

They're checking to see if it's possible to install Docker and run Docker containers inside the VDI environment.

Vmware Horizon Agent 7.7

UEM 9.6

Folder redirection enabled

No App Volumes

Linked Clones with Persistent disks.

It should be possible but one thing to note is you will probably have to set Expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS on the VM from within vSphere.  I can almost guarantee it would have pretty poor performance though.
