Focused on delivering Private Cloud solutions

Incredibly well received – some key highlights: Hyper-V Replica

Shared Nothing & Simultaneous Live Migrations

Storage Migration

Support for virtual machines on SMB 3.0

Full PowerShell Support – more than 160 cmdlets

VHDX format

Online disk merging

Increased scalability – VMs 1TB memory & 64 vprocs!

Dynamic memory enhancements – minimum memory, smart paging

Virtual Fibre Channel (virtual HBAs)

…more

Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012

Windows Azure IaaS

Windows Azure uses the same Hyper-V virtualization service built-into Windows Server 2012

Moving Virtualization Forward

New Generation Of Virtual MachinesGeneration 2 virtual machines

Legacy free UEFI based (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)

Many emulated devices removedBoots from virtual SCSI or synthetic network adaptersEnables UEFI secure boot standard

Supported guest operating systems:64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows Server 201264-bit versions of Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2

Demo: Generation 1 vs generation2

Generation 2 Virtual Machine HardwareLegacy Devices Removed Replacement Devices Enhancements

IDE Controller Virtual SCSI Controller Boot from VHDx (64TB max size, online resize)

IDE CD-ROM Virtual SCSI CD-ROM Hot add/remove

Legacy BIOS UEFI firmware Secure Boot

Legacy NIC Synthetic NIC Network boot with IPv4 & IPv6

Floppy & DMA Controller No floppy support

UART (COM Ports) Optional UART for debugging Faster and more reliable

i8042 keyboard controller Software based input No emulation – reduced resources

Enhanced Experience

Zero-downtime upgrade

Cross version compatibility -Compatibility In Windows Server 2012 R2 from Windows Server 2012

Live migrationSaved statesCheckpoints (aka Snapshots) Includes shared nothing live migration

Faster Live Migration

CompressionSignificantly faster live migration timesNo hardware changes are requiredEnabled by default

SMB Direct Utilizes existing and new high-end networksEnables super high-speed live migrationsSupports SMB Multichannel to leverage multiple interfaces

Faster Live Migration

Simple guidance:If your live migration network is…. 10 Gbit or less – use compression Over 10 Gbit – use SMB / SMB Direct

Demo: live migrations

Online VHDX resize

Increase AND decrease the size of virtual hard disks – while the virtual machine is running!

Demo: online vhdx resize

Live virtual machine export / clone

While the virtual machine is running…Export a complete copy – including memory stateExport any snapshot of a virtual machine

Continuing Linux Guest Support

Full dynamic memoryOnline backupOnline VHDX resizeNew video driver

File Based StorageBlock Storage

Guest clustering with shared virtual disks

VHDX VHDX

Guest Clustering

Guest Clustering with commodity storage

Sharing VHDX files provides shared storage for Hyper-V Failover Clustering

Maintains separation between infrastructure and tenants

Virtual SAS

Scale-Out File Server for file based storage

Storage QoS

Enables constant SLA deliveryDynamically configurable while the virtual machine

is runningCan restrict disk throughput for overactive /

disruptive virtual machines
