Michael, DPDK is still in developer preview on Azure and you will not be able to bring your DPDK application up on an Azure VM without working with us. I will work with you offline to onboard to our developer preview program.

As I'm in early development myself I haven't nailed down to a release yet. I figured the docs aren't completely updated, and that's why I then ended up installing OFED 4.2. I was previously installing with `./mlnxofedinstall --guest`. I assume the `./mlnxofedinstall --dpdk --upstream-libs` as instructed installs the rdma-core and upstream libs, ? Should I also include the --guest argument, as I'm in a HyperV environment, ? Thank You Both.
