Does Amazon Workspace support docker on Windows 10 ?

Question

I have an Amazon workspace on which I'm trying to Docker Desktop for windows. Installation is successful, But can't run the hello-world container in my docker.   
  
Here is the error I'm getting.

```
docker: Error response from daemon: hcsshim::CreateComputeSystem c0123bb1fafc4e6706afb240dcf173c531976eaaaef75c57edb7c55f929471a7: The virtual machine could not be started because a required feature is not installed.
```

Please assist !

Answer

Hello,  
  
Unfortunately Nested virtualization (including the use of Docker) is not supported on Amazon WorkSpaces for Windows or Linux.  This is mentioned in our AWS documentation here \[1]  
  
That being said, I would encourage you to have a look into Amazon ECS if your use case allows it, which is a highly scalable, high-performance container orchestration service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run and scale containerized applications on AWS. For more information on this, refer to \[2].   
  
Thanks,
