Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V

Hyper-V was used to extend our ability to quickly prototype and build server infrastructure. We also were using it to develop 'golden images' or other troubleshooting techniques that allowed our organization to quickly deploy and investigate strange edge cases in our infrastructure It has been slightly superseded by our movement into Azure for the majority of our server infrastructure.

Pros

  • Speed of deployment.
  • Cost versus resources.
  • Automation and PowerShell accessibility.

Cons

  • Control System integration could be improved.
  • Better documentation.
  • Interchangeability of hard drives (VHD, VHDX, first gen/second gen).
  • Easy to spin up on devices.
  • Low barrier to entry on personal devices if hardware permits.
  • Great training tools.

Azure Lab Services, Azure Virtual Machines, Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
Hyper-V is a great technology and its inclusion on a large number of Windows Operating systems, not just servers allows for a lot of opportunity to experiment and play with the technology, both from a learning standpoint, as well as gaining experience that will translate into working with Azure and other cloud based technologies. Azure is the next step in server and infrastructure management.
