Running VMware in Azure VM

Question

I have installed a VMware application inside the Windows 10 Azure VM. Opened an 10gb OS image file using the vmware application and it says that VMware player and Hyper-V are not compatible

Answer 1

As far as I know, Azure VMs are mostly hyper-v virtual machines. From this doc ,

Virtualization applications other than Hyper-V are not supported in Hyper-V virtual machines

So if you want to run VMware on Azure, you could use Azure VMware Solutions as @4c74356b41's comment.

VMware Solution on Azure by CloudSimple is a fully managed service that lets you run the VMware platform in Azure. This solution includes vSphere, vCenter, vSAN, NSX-T, and similar tools. VMware environment runs natively on Azure Bare Metal infrastructure, on Azure cloud locations.
