driver:
  name: hyperv

  parent_vhd_name: ubuntu-22.04.vhdx
  memory_startup_bytes: 2GB

platforms:
  - name: ubuntu-22.04

Configuration

The kitchen-hyperv driver provides configuration options that you set in the driver section of your kitchen.yml file, either globally or for an individual platform. For the complete and current list of settings, see the kitchen-hyperv repository.
