What is Hyper - V?
Hyper - V is a virtualization technology. This allows you to run multiple operating system instances at any one time. You can run Linux, Microsoft, Server and desktop operating systems all together. This is a great solution for testing software on multiple platforms or just playing around with a different OS.
Hyper V is specifically a hardware virtualisation technology. This means whatever you assign to your VMs you take that hardware away from your host. For example if your laptop or PC has 500GB of storage and 8GB Ram, you may want to tactically decide how you allocate the hardware to the VM. If you give the VM too much RAM for example it will severely impact the performance of the host. And the same with storage, VMs are usually assigned low storage, just enough for the Operating system and a few software installs (dependent on your requirements). If you have have spec tech, you can run many VMs much like a datacentre.
Enabling Hyper V in Windows 11
To enable hyper v;
1. Type Windows features into the start bar
2. Check both, Hyper V management tools and Hyper V platform
3. Restart your PC, it will install Hyper V much like a Windows update
Begin your lab journey....
Once you have Hyper V installed, embark on your lab journey. Below is a playlist for creating a replica of a domain management structure, I will keep adding to it over time...
