    Course introduction and welcome

  • IMPORTANT: Udemy Player Settings1:12

    Udemy has had issues with some videos having moments of blurred screens. The cause of this is the Auto (1080p) setting in the Udemy player that dynamically changes at times. The recommendation is to change the Udemy player setting to 720p- that will stop all blurriness in Udemy videos.

Description

Hyper-V is Microsoft's hardware virtualization product. It allows you create and run a software version of a computer, called a virtual machine. Each virtual machine acts like a complete computer, running an operating system and programs. When you need computing resources, virtual machines give you more flexibility, help save time and money, and are a more efficient way to use hardware than just running one operating system on physical hardware.

Hyper-V runs each virtual machine in its own isolated space, which means you can run more than one virtual machine on the same hardware at the same time. You might want to do this to avoid problems such as a crash affecting the other workloads, or to give different people, groups or services access to different systems.

This course will cover the following areas, and many more:

  • Understand Server and Desktop virtualization

  • Create virtual machines

  • Installing an operating system on a virtual machine

  • Create virtual switches

  • Use PowerShell to manage virtual machines, virtual switches  and Hyper-V settings

  • Secure virtual machines

  • Understand virtual hard drive types

  • Manage advanced network settings

  • Manage checkpoints

  • Configure replication of virtual machines

  • Migrate virtual machines

  • Export and Import of virtual machines

  • Managing NUMA

  • Configure virtual nesting

  • Enable virtual machine shielding

  • Configure SmartPaging

  • Configure integration services


Who this course is for:

  • Beginners that need to understand virtualization concepts and configurations
  • Experienced students that want to learn the full capabilities of Microsoft's Hyper-V platform
  • Those that want to understand how to implment Hyper-V on Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10
