Repeat the following steps to create VMs to host the DC role as needed. You should deploy at least two virtual DCs to provide fault tolerance and redundancy. If the Azure virtual network includes at least two DCs that are similarly configured (that is, they are both GCs, run DNS server, and neither holds any FSMO role, and so on) then place the VMs that run those DCs in an availability set for improved fault tolerance.

To create the VMs by using Windows PowerShell instead of the UI, see [Use Azure PowerShell to create and preconfigure Windows-based Virtual Machines](../virtual-machines-ps-create-preconfigure-windows-vms).
