Let’s say i have a reasonable hardware and want to create an n number of virtual machines inside eachother for no particular reason but to experiment, i have a few questions:

What would be the best way to approach the problem?

What are weird problems that i would encounter?

After how many levels would my computer become unusable?

Would the loss of performance from a level to another be linear or exponential?

What’s the deepest level of nesting reached?

    Interesting question, I’d imagine that one major limit would be the number of cores your CPU has available. Once you got to more VMs than cores, I’d guess things would quickly grind to a halt?

    But I wonder if you could even anywhere near to that point as on searching only L2 VM is mentioned on various sites and that is with warnings of severe performance limitations and for development testing only. While L3 might work the problems may get too bad you can’t practically go beyond that level?
