ASDK architecture
The Azure Stack Development Kit (ASDK) is a single-node deployment of Azure Stack running on a single host computer. Edge routing components are installed on the host computer to provide NAT and VPN capabilities for Azure Stack. Azure Stack infrastructure roles run in the Hyper-V layer of the physical host computer.
