Can't connect Network Interface to VM in Azure

Question

I created a VM in HyperV and modified it to be a DLP machine. I saved the machine's disk and uploaded it to Azure on a new VM and when I tried to connect a Network Interface to the VM it didn't work, I could do that and it seemed as if it worked but when went to Networking it said:

This network interface does not contain network security groups

Which basically means it didn't set anything, also when tried to add a new NIC (Network Interface) for the third time the following error was given:

Failed to attach network interface 'Dlp-machine-NetworkINT' to virtual machine 'Dlp-machine'. Error: The number of network interfaces for virtual machine Dlp-machine exceeds the maximum allowed for the virtual machine size Standard_D2s_v3. The number of network interfaces is 3 and the maximum allowed is 2. 

So it seems like the former NICs were saved but were not really applied or used.

I came to realize that what's the problem is that since the VM is using a local disk it's configured to use the local NIC. Anyone has encountered something like this when uploading a local disk to Azure and knows what to do?

Answer 1

What the second error says is that your VM is limited to only 2 NICs by its SKU. You should use Standard_D8s_v3 (or some other SKU) to allow to use 4 NICs
