Vagrant Hyper-V Gen 2 Centos 7.4 - 1708 AMD 64

This is a Hyper-V generation 2 box with UEFI enabled and GPT partitioning. It includes Git and Ansible for local provisioning. SELinux and firewall services are disabled by default.

A group called local is in the Ansible inventory file /etc/ansible/hosts to be used for local provisioning under the root user. The password for the root user is vagrant and the infamous insecure_private_key is in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.

You can run Ansible locally on Windows hosts using the shell provisioner with config.ssh.username = "root" specified in the Vagrantfile.

  config.vm.provider "hyperv" do |hv|
    hv.vmname = "CentOS74"
    # With nested virtualization, at least 2 CPUs are needed.
    hv.cpus = "2"
    # With nested virtualization, at least 4GB of memory is needed.
    hv.memory = "4096"
