Disable azure network accelerator

Recently, I came across an issue in azure QA account, the credit was getting utilized more than the expected numbers, because of this the instances were shutting down before the due date.

This issue was finally addressed after couple of  research. The problem was with the network accelerator this was consuming a huge amount of credit.

When tried to disable the network accelerator, it showed an error as this is supported for VM series D/DSv2, D/DSv3, E/ESv3, F/FS, FSv2, and Ms/Mms only.

I came across a KB article to execute following command in azure shell to disable network accelerator.

az network nic update --name --resource-group --accelerated-networking false

In the above command line, replace nic_name and resource_group_name with existing names mentioned in your azure portal.

Hope this helps you.

Happy computing... :)
