Implementing Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V

by Greg Shields

Hyper-V can provide you with some very powerful automation. This course will explore the beyond-the-basic details of storage, networking, and virtual machine management in a single-server Hyper-V environment.

What you'll learn

Hyper-V can seem a deceptively simplistic solution for hosting virtual machines, but hiding under the shallows of its surface is some complex machinery alongside powerful automation. Getting started these days requires diving beneath Hyper-V Manager's graphical interface alone. This course, Implementing Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V, kick-starts your Hyper-V experience by going beyond the basics. First, you'll begin with the installation of Hyper-V, along with the gotchas to be prepared for. Next, you'll explore the right ways to configure storage and networking. Finally, you'll learn about the wide range of virtual machine settings that ensure your VMs get the resources their workloads require. By the end of this course, you will have the foundational knowledge to be able to manage a Hyper-V environment.
