Did you enable accelerated networking? Accelerated networking enables two interfaces, eth0 will talk to the host via the Hyper-V device driver, and the new interface would be associated with accelerated network, an SRIOV interface to the netork card on the host. Continue to use eth0 as it is the master of both interfaces because they represent the same NIC. If the SRIOV path were to be rescinded the synthetic path will remain to keep your network up and running. The mechanism by which the two interfaces are connected is called "transparent SRIOV".
Ubuntu images in Azure are automatically whitelisted for Accelerated Networking, but the 4.4 kernel does not support it. Linux-azure, however, does.
