Looking further into what was revealed at the Build and Ignite conferences last month Nano Server is starting to take more of a concrete shape. This tiny foot print Windows Server OS will be good as a Hyper-V and Scale Out File server infrastructure OS. My post on Nano is up on 4Sysops, read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
I’ve done a couple of in-depth technical article looking at Azure for virtualizationreview.com. These are available here, here, here and here.
Recently published is part 1 of a new series that looks at Azure (with all the changes since those first articles were written incorporated) from a “real world” perspective. I take a fictitious company on their journey to a hybrid cloud, applying the technologies to their business problems. Part 1 covers setting up a virtual network, linking it to on-premises, how to think about administrative delegation and so forth. Read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
Continuing my long running series on Azure at 4sysops, this time I look at Azure Active Directory, synchronising it with your on-premises Active Directory and the benefits it offers, as well as the Azure service Cloud App Discovery. This service (CAD?) inventories the cloud services in use in your network (commonly called Shadow IT) to help IT departments to actually know what’s happening instead of guessing. Read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
My article on what’s coming in Hyper-V in Windows Server vNext has now been published over at virtualizationreview.com. Read it here.
I cover the new production checkpoints, the new configuration file formats, mixed versions in Hyper-V clusters, Windows update delivering integration services updates, along with secure boot for Linux VMs and hot adding memory and NICs to running VMs.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
Back in May / June / July I wrote a three part articles series, looking at Azure from an IT Professional’s perspective. Because so much changes in the cloud, and so quickly I updated the article and it’s now been published on virtualizationreview.com. Read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
The fourth part of what’s coming in Windows Server vNext is now online at 4Sysops. This time I look at Web Application Proxy, the “sort of” replacement for Forefront UAG (and TMG) as well as the new Azure Application Proxy service. Read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
