Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V

I have been using Hyper-V for about half a year for creating clusters on Linux (RedHat, Ubuntu).
  • Very satisfied with the results: simplicity, reliability and its speed of work.
  • But found several cons: absence of drag-and-drop, clipboard also does not work, therefore there is no possibility to copy-paste files from my PC to Hyper-V. Can do this only via RDP but it takes some work: install XRDP, open ports. So, per my point of view it needs refinement to make such things easier.
  • Sometimes the live backup fails with an error and I am forced to shut down the server to make the offline backup with its downtime. It is not critical for a cluster, but very critical when you have only one working server.
Well suited for managing Windows Servers and also for Linux. Less appropriate for FreeBSD and MacOS.
