VMception

[VictrolaGod]

I have a good idea for a video. See how many Virtual Machines you can get running inside each other stably on like, 64 gigs of ram. Call it VMception or something. I would really love to see that. Love the show, keep it up!

If you have memory balloning, then probably about 1000, as each vm idling uses about 60mb of ram. 

 

You can also use containers if you wan to less ram.

Tried it with my 32 cores and 64 gigs of RAM. The answer is... none. You can't run a hypervisor inside of another hypervisor.

I've had zero luck and haven't found anyone else that's been able to either.

Okay, so it's do-able in fedora but I guess the reason why I haven't seen anyone do it is because it's not useful or practical really.

I was bored some time ago, so I made this.

My PC:

- Intel Core i7 4770S

- 16GB 1600MHz

- Asus GTX 760

It works quite good, except sometimes the XP VM freezes, and I must restart it, and it takes 2 hours.
