1Also this, is just like your problem. But it is for a local windows VM: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38528076/android-studio-virtual-device-on-a-windows-7-vm-not-compatible/42283740 – Yago Azedias Apr 02 '18 at 13:54

Consider that nested virtualisation is not enabled out of the box for Compute Engine instances. Therefore you need to enable it manually, however it is not available yet for Windows instances as you can check in the documentation page:
Nested virtualization does not currently support Windows instances.

1Yes, quoting again from the documentation `Nested virtualization is only supported for KVM-based hypervisors running on Linux instances. ESX and Xen hypervisors are not supported.` Therefore I do not see any reason why it shouldn't work for Ubuntu. However consider that it is still a Beta feature and it is not covered by any SLA or deprecation policy and may be subject to backward-incompatible changes. – GalloCedrone Apr 03 '18 at 08:46
