How to Use Ansible WinRM to Manage Windows Server 2022 Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is the Microsoft implementation of the WS-Management protocol — a SOAP-based protocol for managing hardware and software over a network. Ansible uses WinRM as its transport layer to communicate with Windows hosts in the same way it uses SSH for Linux. […]
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 […]
How to Configure GitHub Actions Self-Hosted Runner on Windows Server 2022 GitHub Actions provides hosted runners on Linux, macOS, and Windows, but for workflows that require custom software, Windows-specific build tools, access to private networks, or control over the execution environment, a self-hosted runner on Windows Server 2022 is the right choice. Self-hosted runners connect […]
How to Set Up GitLab Runner on Windows Server 2022 GitLab Runner is the open-source agent that executes CI/CD jobs defined in your .gitlab-ci.yml files. Running a self-hosted GitLab Runner on Windows Server 2022 lets you build, test, and deploy Windows-native applications using PowerShell, batch scripts, MSBuild, and other Windows-specific toolchains that are not available […]
How to Install Jenkins on Windows Server 2022 Jenkins is an open-source automation server widely used for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Installing Jenkins on Windows Server 2022 gives your development teams a stable, enterprise-grade build server that integrates with source control, build tools, and deployment pipelines. This guide covers the complete installation […]
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 […]
Windows Containers in Kubernetes Kubernetes supports Windows Server container workloads through Windows worker nodes. A production Kubernetes cluster running Windows containers has a mixed-OS architecture: the control plane (API server, etcd, scheduler, controller manager) runs on Linux nodes, while Windows-specific workloads are scheduled onto Windows Server 2022 worker nodes. This article walks through building a […]
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 […]
