6. What is VM?
• Virtual machines are operating systems that run in their own space on top of another operating system.
• Windows Server Containers Windows Server 2016 allows for an isolated application to run by using a
technology called process and namespace isolation. Windows Server 2016 containers allow applications to
share the system’s kernel with their container and all other containers running on the same host.
• Hyper-V Containers Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V Containers add another virtual layer by isolating applications
in their own optimized virtual machine. Hyper-V Containers work differently than Windows Server Containers in
the fact that the Hyper-V Containers do not share the system’s kernel with other Hyper-V Containers.

7. What is Hyper-V?
• Hyper-V allows you to run multiple operating systems simultaneously
on one physical computer. Each virtual operating system runs in its
own virtual machine environment.
• Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V now allows an administrator to
protect their corporate virtual machines using the new feature called
Shielded Virtual Machine. Shielded Virtual Machines are encrypted
using BitLocker and the VMs can only run on approved Hyper-V host
systems.
• Hyper-V also now includes a new feature called containers.
Containers add a new unique additional layer of isolation for a
containerized applications.

8. Before deploying...what do you need
to know?
• What type of server do I need?
• Will the server be a domain controller?
• What roles do I need to install on this server?
• Do I migrate roles or install from scratch?

9. Windows Server 2016 allows roles
migration from:
• Windows Server 2008 R2,
• Windows Server 2012,
• Windows Server 2012 R2,
• or Windows Server 2016 to a computer that is running Windows
Server 2016.
