How to Install Ansible and Manage Windows Servers with Ansible on Windows Server 2022 Ansible is an agentless automation platform that uses SSH for Linux and WinRM for Windows to execute configuration management tasks, application deployments, and orchestrated workflows across infrastructure. Unlike agent-based tools, Windows servers do not require any Ansible software installed — only […]
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 […]
Why Run a Private Container Registry? A private container registry gives you full control over where your container images are stored, who can access them, and how they are distributed across your infrastructure. Rather than pushing every image to Docker Hub or a cloud provider’s registry, you can host a registry on your own Windows […]
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 GPU Passthrough in Hyper-V on Windows Server 2022 GPU passthrough in Hyper-V is accomplished through a feature called Discrete Device Assignment (DDA). DDA allows a physical PCIe device — including a GPU — to be directly assigned to a virtual machine, bypassing the hypervisor’s device emulation layer entirely. The VM gains exclusive, near-native […]
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. Unlike Docker, which relies on a long-running dockerd daemon process running as root, Podman uses a fork-exec model where each container runs as a direct child process of the […]
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 […]
Understanding Nano Server in Windows Server 2022 Nano Server in Windows Server 2022 is fundamentally different from the standalone deployment model introduced in Windows Server 2016. Microsoft deprecated the standalone Nano Server installation option after Windows Server 1709, and in Windows Server 2022 Nano Server exists exclusively as a container base image. It is no […]
How to Export and Import Hyper-V Virtual Machines on Windows Server 2022 Exporting and importing Hyper-V virtual machines on Windows Server 2022 is the primary method for moving VMs between non-clustered hosts, creating portable backups, duplicating VMs for testing, and migrating workloads to new hardware. Understanding the export structure and the three import modes available […]
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, […]
