Overall Satisfaction with Hyper-V

We use Hyper-V to test malware and security analysis over binary research at the lab. Hyper-V pretty much provides a virtualization layer from the host machine to securely test vulnerability exploits on a different version of operation systems safely and securely. We're able to automate our testing suite with help of Hyper-V commands enabled in windows 10.
  • Virtualization
  • Executing different operating system versions.
  • Secure access to files & resource with limits.
  • Hyper-V public API commands can be improved to automate security analysis.
  • Only available on windows 10 pro version.
  • Virtualization
  • Performance
  • Stability
  • Well defined research lab environment improved 10x productivity.
  • Isolated test results without any bias improved 10x results.
  • Docker
Though Docker provides cross-platform support and isolation, Hyper-V provides true virtualization over the host OS and creates boundary over guest OS that protects the security threats, resource-hogging on the host OS.
