Containers are a game-changing technology — especially for teams that have developers who need dynamic environments to work from. A developer can launch a container that supports the needs of her application within minutes, and many of the container images are purpose build with the various programming frameworks called out in the title of the container image.
Windows Server 2019 offers Hyper-V, a Type 1 hypervisor. Hyper-V is a role that gets installed on a Windows Server 2019 operating system. If you want to save time, you can also download and install Windows Hyper-V Server 2019, which is a standalone product available for download that contains the Windows Hyper-V hypervisor, Windows Server drivers, and various virtualization components — the same tech that you get from installing the role.
Virtualization drastically changed the way that IT operated in organizations of all sizes, but containers have had a large impact as well. You may be wondering why someone would want to use containers in Windows Server 2019. They’re just virtual machines (VMs), right? Well, not exactly.The technologies may seem similar, but containers and VMs are not the same.
Docker is an open-source platform that assists you in packaging and deploying applications in Windows Server 2019. You can run multiple containers on a container host, and because they share the container host’s kernel, they use fewer resources than virtual machines (VMs) because you don’t need the overhead of a hypervisor to manage them.
In the technology field, there is always the next hot thing that everybody starts talking about. Virtualization was one of those topics when it first made its appearance. Microsoft’s virtualization product is called Hyper-V. Virtualization has enabled IT professionals to better use the resources that have been purchased and has led to the creation of cloud computing services.
With each new version of Windows Server, Microsoft introduces new and innovative technologies to improve administration or add needed functionality. Here are some of the new features in Windows Server 2019: App Compatibility Feature on Demand (FoD) for Server Core: The App Compatibility FoD package includes a set of binaries that improve compatibility for applications that require some of the graphical tools that haven’t historically been available with Server Core.
PowerShell 5.1 is the current released version of Windows PowerShell and is the version that ships with Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019. It is installed by default on these newer operating systems, but it’s also available for install on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2.
Windows Server 2019 has two user experiences to choose from. What you use will depend on the workload you’re wanting to support, as well as organizational requirements. Here, the Desktop Experience and the Server Core experience are discussed, as well as some pros and cons of each. Desktop Experience Desktop Experience is what you would consider to be the standard graphical user interface (GUI) that you may have used in previous versions of the Windows Server operating systems.
