Try running Amazon Linux 2 on-premises (VM on your local PC).

1. Prerequisite environment

This time, create it in the following environment. Please read the contents according to the environment.

-Create a VM image directly in C: \ VM \ testvm01 on Windows 10 using WSL (Ubuntu).

-The hypervisor uses Hyper-V.

-The Hyper-V network uses a bridge.

- The IP address, default gateway, and referenced DNS of the virtual machine to be created must be issued by some DHCP.

• Since the hypervisor network is a bridge this time, we will use the DHCP function of the broadband router at home.
• If the hypervisor network is NAT, I think that the DHCP function installed in the hypervisor is okay. (Not verified)

・ For the time being, the purpose is to move it, so loosen the security

• Please take action if necessary.

2. Install the commands required for the work.

$ sudo apt install genisoimage unzip

3. Create and move the directory to create the VM image

$ mkdir -p /mnt/c/VM/testvm01
$ cd /mnt/c/VM/testvm01

4. Create seed.iso

This time, create seed.iso with the following settings

4.1. Create meta-data and user-data

$ cat << EOF > meta-data
local-hostname: testvm01
EOF

$ cat << EOF > user-data
cloud-config
ssh_pwauth: True
chpasswd:
  list: |
    ec2-user:amazon
EOF

* The comment [# cloud-config] on the first line of user-data cannot be omitted

4.2. Create seed.iso from meta-data and user-data

$ genisoimage -output seed.iso -volid cidata -joliet -rock user-data meta-data

4.3. Delete unnecessary meta-data and user-data

$ rm -i meta-data user-data

5. Create a virtual disk image

$ curl -LO https://cdn.amazonlinux.com/os-images/2.0.20201111.0/hyperv/amzn2-hyperv-2.0.20201111.0-x86_64.xfs.gpt.vhdx.zip
$ unzip amzn2-hyperv-2.0.20201111.0-x86_64.xfs.gpt.vhdx.zip
$ rm -i amzn2-hyperv-2.0.20201111.0-x86_64.xfs.gpt.vhdx.zip

• The above URL is the latest virtual disk image for Hyper-V as of January 03, 2021. For non-Hyper-V and latest virtual disk images, please search from the link of " 9.Reference " below.

6. Create a virtual machine

This time, create a new virtual machine with the following settings in Hyper-V Manager. Please read the contents as necessary.

• Since only the image is posted, detailed steps are omitted.
• If you want to use another hypervisor, make the appropriate settings on that hypervisor.

6.1. Virtual Machine Creation Wizard Settings

6.2. Attach and boot settings for seed.iso

After creating the virtual machine, attach seed.iso and set the boot device (startup) order to HDD priority.

7. Operation check

-Start the virtual machine and log in

・ Confirmation of IP address

・ Login with SSH

8. Permanent attachment of seed.iso

Seed.iso may be detached when the virtual machine is stopped or restarted by the hypervisor. Follow the steps for each hypervisor to make the seed.iso attachment permanent.

• No work required with Hyper-V
