Hyper-V Server Benefits: Hyper V supports multiple operating systems Migrate or Repicate VMs on prem to AWS Provide Disaster Recovery (DR) and backup to your on premises servers Create isolated DEV/TEST environments to test applications Replicate VMs from physical sites to provide an offsite backup of your VMs Run entire Windows Server fail over cluster environments on Hyper-V Create Windows Server Containers Security - Secure boot and shielded VM protect against malware and unauthorized access to the VM and its data.
Highlights
- With Hyper-V running on AWS, you are now able to replicate Hyper-V virtual machines you have on prem to Hyper-V running on AWS. This provides full disaster recovery and a backup solution to your physical sites.
- Create isolated environments using Hyper V, great for Dev/Test environments. Option to create a NAT to access your current resources on your VPC.
