Evaluate a Considered Case for Microsoft Virtualization
With Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Microsoft has caught up to industry leading VMware across many server virtualization features and functions. That, plus a perception of lower costs (Hyper-V is free) is leading many to consider a move to Hyper-V for virtualization and hybrid cloud. Now is the time to evaluate the potential of Hyper-V. It may or may not be right for your requirements, but you will need to have a clear and considered case for or against Hyper-V. As virtualization has become mainstream this is not the time for either blissful ignorance or knee jerk decisions.

Microsoft India - Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper - V Live Migration Whitepaper Microsoft Private Cloud
3.Overview of Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V™ Features Windows Server® 2008 R2 Hyper-V™ builds on the architecture and feature set of Windows Server® 2008 Hyper-V™ by adding multiple new features that significantly enhance product flexibility. The adoption of virtualization in the enterprise has led to increased flexibility in deployment and life cycle management of applications. IT professionals have deployed and used virtualization to consolidate workloads reducing server sprawl. Additionally they can deploy virtualization with clustering technologies to provide a robust IT infrastructure with high availability and disaster recovery
This exam measures your ability to accomplish the technical tasks listed below. The percentages indicate the relative weight of each major topic area on the exam. The higher the percentage, the more questions you are likely to see on that content area on the exam. https://www.pass4sureexam.com/70-412.html
This is the first post in my series about the new features in Windows Server 2008 R2. As in my series about the new features of Windows 7, I will update the articles when I learn about new features. I will discuss some of the new features in more detail soon. Essentially, the term "virtualization" covers three different technologies in Windows Server 2008 R2: Server Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization, and Presentation Virtualization. Server Virtualization is based on Hyper-V 2.0, which will get quite a few interesting new features. The virtualization technology ehind Desktop virtualization, i.e., Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), is also Hyper-V. This is probably the most important new feature in Windows Server 2008 R2. Presentation Virtualization is nothing but the good old Terminal Server. Technically, I find it a bit odd to use the term "virtualization" in this context, but from a marketer's point of view, it probably makes a lot of sense. Note that Microsoft renamed the "Terminal Services" as "Remote Desktop Services" in Windows Server 2008 R2.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

2. Microsoft Virtualization, Window Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Edwin Yuen Sr. Program Manger System Center Jeffrey Woolsey Principal Group Program Mgr Windows Server, Hyper-V SVR-205
3. Agenda Microsoft Virtualization Strategy/Portfolio Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Overview Live Migration Interoperability Feature Overview System Center Virtual Machine Manager R2 Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 Q & A
4. Microsoft Virtualization Strategy Data center to desktop End-to-End Management Best TCO/ROI The Platform you know Key feature of platform Full range of products & solutions 1/6ththe price up front Physical and Virtual & Cross-hypervisor Tools you know Interoperability Large partner eco-system Lower ongoing costs
5. Application Virtualization Server Virtualization Remote Desktop Services User State Virtualization Desktop Virtualization Microsoft Virtualization Products “Having one vendor for the hypervisor, operating system, and much of our application software was very appealing to us from a support and cost perspective.” Bert Van Pottelberghe, Sales Director, Hostbasket Document Redirection and Offline Files
6. Extensive, Unified Management Wide-spread virtualization requires comprehensive, seamless management Only Microsoft System Center suite delivers All integrated, all for one price Physical and virtual machines (Hyper-V and VMware) Host and in-guest management Single pane of glass No rip and replace for existing VMware customers
7. Managing Physical and Virtual Server Lifecycles Hardware Provisioning Backup Virtual Workload Provisioning Disaster Recovery OS / Software Deploy, Patching and State Mgmt “A big selling point of System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 is that it’s a familiar toolset. Anyone who’s managing Windows servers is already familiar with this program.” Matt Lavallee, Director of Technology for MLS Property Information Network. Performance and Health Monitoring
8. In-Guest Management and Monitoring Integrate virtualization into existing tools, personnel, processes Focus on applications, workloads running on virtual machines Manage, monitor virtual machines just like physical machines Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 integrated with System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 8
9. Virtualized Workloads Microsoft supports our key server applications in a virtualized environment Microsoft has updated server workload licensing to enable virtualization mobility Management of the workloads is key, not just the virtual machine “Maxol runs Exchange Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, Terminal Services, and file and print servers as key workloads in its virtual environment. Going forward, nearly every business application at Maxol will be a candidate for virtualization.” Maxol Case Study “We’ve seen first-hand that we can virtualize everything from file, print, and web servers to database servers running SQL Server and Oracle, and actually have the virtual machine run *faster* than what it ran on our original physical box.” Janssen Jones, Indiana University
16. Expensive space across datacenter & branch offices“With Hyper-V, we are exploiting the capacity of Intel-based enterprise servers to build a scalable, reliable virtualization environment capable of consolidating multiple physical servers at once.” Luigi Baldoni Chief Information Officer, ComunediRoma “IT staff used the performance monitoring tool within the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to assess the performance of both 64-bit and 32-bit VMs. “So far, the performance of Hyper-V is near to that of a physical system, and the MMC interface is simple and intuitive.” GiulioMoroni, Comunedi Roma Technical Leader Server Utilization
19. Lower Costs for IT & Power“With Hyper-V, we can offer customers much greater flexibility, and the System Center solutions build the server automatically.” Process: Customers order VMs online & order is validated via PoundHost billing system PowerShell™ scripts create vmsto the customer’s exact specifications Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 creates the virtual machine on the host server, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 installs the operating system, configures Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, installs the customer’s business software and all necessary security updates Result: Demand for Windows Server 2008 R2–based servers has been much stronger than PoundHost anticipated. “We sold 100 virtual machines in the first two months and expect to sell another 1,000 in the next two months,” Munson says. “We’ve doubled virtual-machine sales with our Hyper-V offering, plus operating costs are lower because Hyper-V is so much less expensive than VMware. A host server containing 50 guest servers would cost over £750 [$1,200] a month with VMware but only £66 [$107] a month with Hyper-V—an 80 percent savings. Our profitability has increased by 55 percent with Hyper-V.”
20. Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Building on rock solid Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V architecture Over 400 case studies from customers worldwide: SMB, Branch to Enterprise (www.microsoft.com/virtualization) Over 1 million downloads of Hyper-V RTM in 12 months Fastest growing bare metal hypervisor in x86 history Microsoft.com powered by Hyper-V since V1 Beta ~15,000 requests per second Over 40 million hits per day Over 1.2 billion page hits per month Enabling new dynamic scenarios: Dynamic Data Center Virtualized Centralized Desktop Customer Driven

50. Live Migration Enables migration of running VMs without downtime Requirements Hosts need to be part of a failover cluster Host processor type should be same Must have access to shared storage Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) is highly recommended Dedicated network for the live migration traffic Multiple Simultaneous Live Migrations A given host can participate in one Live Migration at a time as source or destination for up to 8 concurrent Live Migrations in a 16 node cluster
52. Host compatibility VM migration requires host hardware to be compatible CPU features, enlightenment parity etc Compatibility checks VMM R2 does deep check for compatibility Supported for both Hyper-V and VMWare VMs Make VM compatible (Hyper-V specific) Setting per VM: Needs VM to be restarted to take effect Turns off certain CPU features in VM Tradeoff between using advanced CPU features versus making VM more compatible for migration
53. Clustered Shared Volumes (CSV) Enables multiple nodes in a cluster to access a single shared LUN VMM 2008 R2 Allows multiple VMs within the cluster to share a LUN Enables packing more VMs per LUN without needing to carve out individual LUNs Enables live migration of individual VMs without affecting other VMs on the LUN Support for 3rd party CFS Detect CFS disks and enable HAVM Allow multiple VMs per LUN
54. Storage Migration VMM R2 adds support for Quick Storage Migration Migrate VM to a different location with minimal downtime On same Host or different host VMM R2 also enables VMWare storage vMotion
55. Source Disk Destination Disk Quick Storage Migration Quick Storage Migration Enables VM Migration from one storage infrastructure to another!
56. Maintenance Mode VMM R2 Allows Host Servers To Be Put Into a Maintenance Mode Useful for Servicing Hardware, Software or Power Energy Management If Host Is Clustered VMs Running On The Host Are Automatically Live Migrated To Other Hosts If Host Is Standalone Admin Can Choose To Save State or Shutdown VMs Placement Host in maintenance mode gets zero star ratings Supported for Hyper-V, Virtual Server and VMWare Hosts
57. Network related enhancments Network Optimization Win2k8 R2 supports 2 types of network optimizations: VMQ & Chimney During VM creation: Enable/disable network optimization If enabled, VMM will configure the VM to use VMQ or Chimney, if available on the host Placement: Detect and show availability of Network optimization on the host Enable/Disable MAC spoofing Ability to reuse port groups defined in VMWare VirtualCenter
58. VMM has detected that host has NIC that has either VMQ or Chimney capabilities
59. Hot Add of VM storage Ability to add/remove storage to running VMs Reduces downtime and provides flexibility to admins to add/remove storage as needed Admin needs to add storage space to VM He would need to stop the VM to do this With VMM R2 and Win2k8 R2 Admin can create additional storage and add it to running VM Admin needs to backup a VM Can create VSS snapshot of his running OS Use the new disk as destination of snapshot Remove the disk from running VM
60. Disjoint domains Host has different FQDN in AD and DNS For example: server name is foo FQDN in AD: foo.domain.contoso.com FQDN in DNS: foo.contoso.com For Kerberos authentication, SPN needs to be created for DNS Name VMM 2008 Required custom SPN to be manually configured in AD VMM 2008 R2 Automatically creates custom SPN for DNS name AD needs to be configured to give permissions to VMM for SPN read/write permissions
