I expect you will not be able to install Hyper-V on a public cloud instance. Your public cloud VMs are already virtual servers, so you don't want to add another virtual layer on top of them. You should be able to use containers on your public cloud VMs, though.– Todd WilcoxMay 16, 2019 at 20:05

Google does seem to have documentation about enabling nested virtualization. No idea if it works for Windows platforms, since they mention KVM. cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/… Not really familiar with Google Cloud, and if this will cost more or whatever. Might need to consider other platforms.– ZoredacheMay 16, 2019 at 20:06

As the documentation states, Google Cloud only supports KVM-based (nested) virtualization.
Nested virtualization is supported only for KVM-based hypervisors running on Linux instances. Hyper-V, ESX, and Xen hypervisors are not supported.
And by not supported it is meant that it simply does not work and cannot be made to work.
