To give an overview of how to enable the Azure Accelerated Networking Feature on MCS provisioned VMs

---

Instructions

VMs created on Azure can utilize the accelerated networking feature, see Microsoft's reference for full details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/accelerated-networking-overview?tabs=redhat

You may wish to ensure this feature enabled on Azure hosted VDAs created via Citrix DaaS Machine Creation Services (MCS).

There are two methods to achieve this.

1. Create a master image VM and enable accelerated networking on the master image VM. All VDAs created from this image will then replicate this and have accelerated networking enabled.

 

2. Use an Azure ARM template when creating a MCS machine catalog and define enabling accelerated networking in the Microsoft.Network network Interfaces section of your ARM template.  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.network/networkinterfaces?pivots=deployment-language-bicep

For more details on how to create MCS catalogs from either a master image VM or an ARM Template Spec, refer to our documentation here.
