Ubuntu - How to enable Hyper-V integration services on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Ubuntu comes with the integration services, so the only thing you have to do is to load some modules.

First edit the file

sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

Then copy past these lines in the end of the file

hv_vmbus hv_storvsc hv_blkvsc hv_netvsc

Then you have to install some dependencies

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-tools-virtual-lts-xenial linux-cloud-tools-virtual-lts-xenial

Update the initial filesystem

sudo update-initramfs -u

A quick reboot and you are done!

sudo reboot
