@kmanohar1, It seems from your logs that you are hitting into private IP address for bootstrapping the VM. You can use Public IP address for bootstrap and also there are some prerequisites that you need to configure after VM creation :

1. Update your security groups inbound rules for opening the port 5985 & 5986 from portal.
2. Configure Winrm services for creating the listener and opening the ports 5985 & 5986.

Please follow Readme https://github.com/chef/knife-windows OR try out below commands to configure Winrm services :

winrm quickconfig -q
winrm create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTP
winrm set winrm/config/winrs '@{MaxMemoryPerShellMB="300"}'
winrm set winrm/config '@{MaxTimeoutms="1800000"}'
winrm set winrm/config/service '@{AllowUnencrypted="true"}'
winrm set winrm/config/service/auth '@{Basic="true"}'
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="WinRM 5985" protocol=TCP dir=in localport=5985 action=allow
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="WinRM 5986" protocol=TCP dir=in localport=5986 action=allow
NetSh Advfirewall set allprofiles state off
net stop winrm
net start winrm

3. Bootstrap the VM.

I've tried out all these and successfully bootstrap the VM.

Hope it helps,

Thanks

@kmanohar1 If you are still running with this issue feel free to open this again and provide more details like Windows version, knife command and and what whether you are using public or private IP. I am closing this for now.
