I have GKE cluster (Master version: 1.14.10-gke.24).
I'm trying to run the following container (Android-Emulator): https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android .
*I just create yaml deployment file for this.
After I running my deploy and try to run new android emulator inside the pod using:
emulator @samsung_galaxy_s8_8.0I got the following error:
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure KVM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: KVM requires a CPU that supports vmx or svm
More info on configuring VM acceleration on Linux: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration#vm-linux
General information on acceleration: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration.
How can I solve it? Should I enable VMX on cluster, If so, how can I do it?
Currently nested virtualization is available only on GCE as per this docs.
There is already a question regarding supporting of Nested Virtualization on GKE. I'd say it's not introduced yet, thats why you cannot find proper documentation about GKE and nested virtualization.
So far I can see only one workaround:
As a workaround, I've been doing what this user was doing which is to clone the existing GKE node image and add the license, and copy-and-edit the instance group's template to the image:

Obviously it's not 100% supported but I still get a lot of the GKE benefits AND nested virtualization.
Hope that helps.
