VM Creation

• E2s_v4 - approximate cost is 159.14 / month
• Diagnostics account: storagehypervguestdiags
• Add home IP address to NSG

VM Configuration

• How to enable nested virtualization in Azure Virtual Machines
• RDP to the machine
• Disable IE Enhanced Security Configuration
• Download Edge at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download
• Enable nested virtualization via PowerShell: Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V -IncludeManagementTools -Restart - this reboots the VM
• Create an internal NAT switch: New-VMSwitch -Name "InternalNAT" -SwitchType Internal
• Check InternalNAT Interface Index - Get-NetAdapter

• Add internal network address to the internal NAT switch created previously - New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 192.168.0.1 -PrefixLength 24 -InterfaceIndex 12 - this defines the gateway as being 192.168.0.1 and the internal network being 192.168.0.0/24

PS C:\Users\matt> New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 192.168.0.1 -PrefixLength 24 -InterfaceIndex 12
