Azure Stack VMs

When Azure Stack is deployed, the following VMs are brought up on the Hyper-V hosts:

As of GA, Azure Stack consists of 13 VMs that all have their functions to make Azure Stack work. All of them are Core server instances configured with static resources (up to 8 GB of RAM and 4 vCPUs each). For the multi node environments most of these VMs are redundant and load balanced using the Software Load Balancer (SLB).

A resource provider adds features and functionality to the Azure Stack using a predefined structure, API set, design, and VM.
