Abstract
Nested virtualization—running a hypervisor within another hypervisor—has emerged as a potent strategy to enhance resource flexibility and performance isolation within multi-cloud environments. With cloud adoption soaring, organizations rely on heterogeneous infrastructures from multiple providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure. However, the complexities introduced by nested virtualization, such as performance overheads and intricate orchestration, require in-depth research and optimization. This white paper provides a comprehensive review of cutting-edge research, proposes an optimized architecture for nested virtualization, and identifies key performance metrics critical to multi-cloud deployments. Experimental evidence from recent literature underscores the viability of nested virtualization to achieve both performance gains and resource elasticity in multi-cloud environments. Our findings highlight the need for novel hardware-assisted virtualization features, advanced orchestration frameworks, and robust security mechanisms to fully unlock the potential of nested virtualization in modern cloud ecosystems.
