Lab VM Setup Guide

This is a semin-automated guide for a Azure Lab VM Setup. Feel free to automate the missing steps on a seperate branch in your fork and create a pull request. An introduction video into forks and pull requests can be found here

In order for Docker to work on a Windows 10 VM you need to install Hyper-V or use Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2). Therefore you must use hardware that supports Nested Virtualization. A detailed Setup Guide can be found here.

Script create-lab-vm.azcli:

rnd=$RANDOM
loc=westeurope
grp=az-lab
vmname=labvm-$rnd
user=azlabadmin
pwd=Lab@dmin1234

az group create -n $grp -l $loc

az vm create -g $grp -n $vmname --admin-username $user --admin-password $pwd --image  MicrosoftWindowsDesktop:Windows-10:20h1-pro-g2:19041.928.2104091205 --size Standard_E2s_v3

az vm auto-shutdown -g $grp -n $vmname --time 1830

Note: The image name of the Windows 10:20h2 image changes frequently. You might have to update the image name. Get a list of all Windows 10 images: az vm image list -f "Windows-10" --location westeurope --all. Remember to support WSL2 you must have at least patch level 20h2

You could also execute create-lab-vm.sh or run the following remote script in Cloud Shell

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ARambazamba/AZ-204/main/Setup/create-lab-vm.sh | bash

Connect to VM

Go to Ressource Group az204-lab and connect to VM using RDP and the credentials that you have used in the script:

Download RDP File:

Optional - Disable Login:

Sign In & Remember:

Credentials:

user=azlabadmin
pwd=Lab@dmin1234

Accept Settings:

Install Software

To install Software run the script setup-az-204.ps1 from an elevated PowerShell prompt:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force;
Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ARambazamba/AZ-204/master/Setup/setup-az-204.ps1'))

Note: This script will run for approx 20 min. No need to wait! In the meantime you can continue to fork and clone my repo as described in the next section.

Congratulations you have completed the base setup of a labs vm!

Fork & Clone Class Repo and set Github requirements

Set User and E-Mail in order to be able to commit to git:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Go to https://github.com/ARambazamba/az-204 and fork the repo

The forking-workflow allows you to commit your changes to your fork of the repo and still get updates on the repo

Clone Class Repo:

git clone https://github.com/Student01/az-204

Note: If you have forked the class repo clone your own fork, otherwise use https://github.com/ARambazamba/az-204

Setup Docker Support

There are two options to configure Docker support. WSL2 recommended

Option 1 - Install Docker with Hyper-V

Install Hyper-V using setup-docker.ps1 and restart after execution.

Check Docker Settings:

Option 2 - Install Docker with WSL2

Install WSL2

Execute script setup-wsl2.ps1 multible times to setup WSL2

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force;
Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ARambazamba/AZ-204/master/Setup/setup-wsl2.ps1'))

First Run:
