check_kvm_support script failed to start error when attempting to create VM

When I attempt to initialise a VM on Debian 10 instance I am getting an error :

multipass launch --name kube-master --cpus 1 --mem 1024M --disk 3G


launch failed: The check_kvm_support script failed to start. Ensure it is in multipassd's PATH.

I checked virtualization parameters and the instance has Microsoft virtualization (not kvm):

lscpu
CPU family:          6
Model:               63
Model name:          Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v3 @ 2.60GHz
Stepping:            2
CPU MHz:             2596.991
BogoMIPS:            5193.98
Hypervisor vendor:   Microsoft
Virtualization type: full

I have attempted to enable virtualization as per suggestions but it appears since I have Microsoft I cannot :

 kvm-ok
INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
KVM acceleration can NOT be used

I have tried the suggested fix command :

sudo modprobe kvm intel

and retried to initialize the VM but Im still getting the same error.

My question - How do I enable virtualization when my underlying virtualization provider is of type Microsoft (and not kvm)?

This is my system details :

Your hypervisor (ie: your provider) has to allow somehow nested/recursive virtualization, enabling VM-within-a-VM. Performances usually suffer, but not that much for 1 level of nesting.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
