Description

As hypervisors continue to grow in use, I see it being important to allow the option of nested hypervisors within foreman vm creation.
The option is titled: Expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-2A98801C-68E8-47AF-99ED-00C63E4857F6.html

With expanded and growing use of containers, I can see this becoming an important option.
