Why Monitor Hyper-V with Performance Counters? Performance counters are the foundation of Hyper-V health monitoring on Windows Server 2022. They expose real-time and historical metrics for every layer of the virtualisation stack: hypervisor scheduling, virtual processor utilisation, memory pressure, virtual storage I/O, and virtual network throughput. Without monitoring these counters, capacity planning is guesswork and […]
Introduction to VHDX on Hyper-V VHDX is the modern virtual hard disk format used by Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012 and later. It supersedes the older VHD format and brings significant improvements in capacity, reliability, and performance. Understanding the differences between VHD and VHDX, as well as mastering the PowerShell cmdlets for managing VHDX files, […]
Introduction to Podman on Windows Server 2022 Podman is an OCI-compatible container engine developed by Red Hat that runs containers without requiring a central daemon process.

Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows Server 2022 Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2 (WSL2) is available on Windows Server 2022 and provides a genuine Linux kernel running inside a lightweight Hyper-V utility VM, giving you a near-native Linux environment directly on a Windows Server host. Unlike the original WSL1 which translated Linux system calls […]
How to Set Up a Hyper-V Cluster on Windows Server 2022 A Hyper-V failover cluster on Windows Server 2022 provides high availability for virtual machines — if a host node fails, VMs automatically restart on surviving nodes within seconds. This guide walks through the complete process: from prerequisite installation through cluster creation, shared storage configuration, […]
How to Configure Storage for Hyper-V on Windows Server 2022 Storage configuration is one of the most consequential decisions when deploying Hyper-V on Windows Server 2022. The wrong storage format, controller type, or placement strategy can throttle VM performance, limit scalability, and complicate disaster recovery. This guide covers all storage options available in Hyper-V on […]

Introduction Hyper-V checkpoints (previously called snapshots) allow you to capture the state of a virtual machine at a specific point in time and later revert to that state if needed. On Windows Server 2022, Hyper-V offers two checkpoint types — Standard and Production — each designed for different use cases. The PowerShell-based management tools for […]
Introduction Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications using a declarative YAML file. On Windows Server 2022, Docker Compose allows you to define complex applications — such as an IIS web server paired with a SQL Server database — in a single docker-compose.yml file, and manage the entire stack with […]
