Depot CI sandboxes now support nested virtualization, enabled by default on every sandbox with no extra configuration and no extra cost.

This unlocks running the Android Emulator at native speed for tests, plus other workloads that need a hypervisor inside the job: spinning up VMs for end-to-end tests (a full Kubernetes cluster, for example), running QEMU/KVM workloads, or doing hypervisor development. We recommend at least a 4 vCPU sandbox for good emulator performance.

The Depot CI base image ships with the full Android SDK surface preloaded, so you can target almost any combination of API level, architecture, and form factor without installing anything at build time.
