Run vmware workstation player in Azure vm

Is it possible to run vmware workstation player in a azure windows 10 vm machine? If no, then can I use azure unbuntu vm machine for this purpose?

Solution 1:

It probably is not possible with the newest version because Azure will be based on Hyper-V . However it might be possible based on some of the content in the following article.

I found only this solution :

If you want to use vmware : use this command in powershell and reboot system:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

If you to want use hyper-v:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto Hyper-v and Vmvare still don't work together

Your second idea (using a separate Ubuntu VM) should work (but not to run VMware Player as that is the same issue as above).
