I can't speak for KVM, but this is certainly possible using XenServer. We've run nested virtualisation and nested OpenStack instances (primarily devstack instances for testing) many times. There is a degradation in performance, as you would expect from nested virtualisation, but it's definitely functional.

Hi All, I have a question on Openstack that is quite important for my cloud architecture: --> Can I have a complete Openstack instance running ON a VIRTUAL MACHINE? Or, generalizing: can I have "nested" openstack instances? ...and ....If this is possible...are there any constraints? NOTES: ->I'm interested to openstack instances WITH all network features available, meaning Quantum server with (preferably) openwswitch plugin, so I would be interested in VMs with a nested openstack image that do provide or access quatum server features...BUT even a flat DHCP network would be better than nothing! ->I normally use KVM as Hypervisor Thanks so much for any help Best Regards Marco Fornaro P.S.: if this is a "newbie" question I apology, but I cannot find a clear answer in doc (see for instance https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix) AND perhaps some little words could save a lot of time when trying to realize such a nested achitecture
