Hi there,

There was a similar question about this recently here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/does-digitalocean-support-kvm-or-nested-virtulzation

Currently, DigitalOcean Droplets support KVM or nested virtualization in all regions. We do not recommend nested virtualization on the platform because there is often very poor performance. Instead, containerization is normally the better option:

Hope that this helps.
