Install Docker Desktop for Windows to Windows 10 running on Azure

Do you need to install Docker Desktop to Windows 10 which runs on Azure? You just need to select right VM which support nested virtualization.

Introducing the new Dv3 and Ev3 VM sizes

I usually use "Standard_D2s_v3" as that's the lowest cost yet runs just fine.
Just check the article above.

Steps.

  1. Create VM by selecting appropriate size. !!The default size doesn't support Docker!!
  2. Install Docker by using installer from Docker Hub
  3. Follow the message. It installs required components and you need to restart at least one time.
  4. Make sure everything runs correctly.

Typical Issue

If you are using incorrect size, then you see:

Failed to start the virtual machine 'MobyLinuxVM' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.
