Hi, I think you should give it a try the way it's supposed to be instead of giving up. The ubuntu cloud is meant to be a platform that runs VMs, so what you're trying to do is to run a VM platform from within a VM host! As a no so related allegory, is like installing WindowsXP, then run VirtualBox, create a new machine, install Win7 and install VirtualBox inside it, and then expect that this VirtualBox will satisfy your needs...
