2. Containers
When we’re talking about virtualization there has perhaps been no bigger change or innovation than what was announced with Containers. While I won’t get into the specifics too much now (since there’s enough material to cover multiple posts on the topic), Containers are indeed a game changer.
Containers will allow us to provide further application isolation between the running host and other virtual entities in the environment by placing an application inside a contained environment and not allowing the code to co-mingle.Think of them as virtual machines, but without the additional overhead of an OS running inside of a VM. Microsoft accomplishes this by allowing the containerized application to share the kernel of the running host, while still maintaining separation.
There are two different flavors of Containers, Windows Server Containers, and Hyper-V Containers. Both have close tie-ins with Dockerand I’ll be providing more detail in an upcoming post.
Containers will provide increased flexibility and a higher level of saturation of workloads inside of our virtualized environments.
More on this great technology coming up in future posts!
3. Nano Server
For the past several years, we’ve had Windows Server Core available to us, and while very feature rich, Microsoft felt that is was still too bloated for the needs of a Hypervisor and the Cloud OS. The key roles and features provided by Nano Server are simply Hyper-V, Clustering and Storage.Essentially everything you need to run virtualized environments.
*Update*: Other roles/features are being looked at for Nano Server by Microsoft and may be announced at a later date. If this is the case, I’ll be sure to update this post at that time.
An interesting quote by Jeffery Snover, who is a Distinguished Engineer with Microsoft, stated that “Nano Server is the most important, most significant change that we’ve made since Windows NT”. This type of statement shows you the backing and trust that Microsoft is putting behind Nano Server, so expect to see much more to come, including an upcoming post right here, specifically about Nano server and its benefits.
5. Operations Management Suite
Now that we have all these different clouds residing in the public space, or the private datacenter, or maybe even hosted with a service provider, it can become difficult to manage them across so many different platforms. Microsoft has come up with an answer to this with theOperations Management Suite that was announced during the Ignite Keynote.
Operations Management Suite will allow administrators to manage all cloud resources from a single pane of glass. This includes, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Rackspace, Hyper-V, VMware and more. This solution is really going to become the one stop shop for all hybrid cloud management and will really enhance the industries’ management capabilities of the cloud.
So instead of TIA its AIT. You're right very reverseable. Lol. Build cant start soon enough.
Well I'll try to reply without losing you.
I might be able to come across a few articles or pdf's but writing on a blog about them isn't my forte.
I'm probably one of the reasons for the term ADD and ADHD. There is a disconnect between my brain and the fingers on my keyboard.
A techie I'm not.....if you asked me if I would rather work on Boeing or Airbus...I definitely would have an opinion. But this is about as techie as I get. So please if I don't respond its probably and your probably better off. I seen your Hyper-V response. I was just trying to get this board talking about it.
Although dated dec '13 with the at&t/John Morelli connection....well just day maybe.

Or are they finishing pinetree off?
Kamikaze trading by the shorts.
Did you conveniently forget the word NEW for a reason?
I can access web site.
If it was Docker wouldn't they said so?
The tech crunch article with the lead architect for windows server called it new technology. The article was april 8 or 9th. I believe his name was Jeffrey Snover or something similar.
For a lead architect or general manager of windows server to call HyperV container technology microsoft's....I'm sorry all kind of bells are ringing for me
Did Hyper-V ever claim to run containers before?
A question I bought up several days ago that no one on this board wants to touch or speculate about Hyper v containers. Microsoft touts this as their new technology. Is this glassware? We will soon find out.
I would guess ....Build.
Semantics is used as the Nano server will be hypervisor based but the server will also containerize apps. Maybe I'm off kilter but wouldn't that server run both a micro and Hypervisor?
I'm sure not up to speed on Dell drive.
Will eventually get there.
But everyone knows
the bulk of this investment is with Microsoft and containers. Is it just semantics with the use of hyper vs micro?
Well understood which is much more efficient. But is this use just to stay under the radar? Dont know be will be here to find out.
Agree completely. Micro vs Hyper no contest. Does docker use a hyper or microvisor? It's well known that docker will be in the nano server. Sorry my eyes are too tired to research docker.
Here's where I go and ask about Dockers
Is the term Hypervisor there because Docker has their container tech installed also? IDK. We'll find out hopefully at Build.
With Sphere so below the radar in stealth mode- if Microsoft used the term microvisor.....every bell and whistle would be going off.
Here's where we just don't have enough info. Can glassware run on a hypervisor?
Is it just the difference of two companies-one calling it a microvisor and the other a hypervisor? Everything Hyper-v sounds like everything glassware with the exception of micro vs hyper. Did Sphere
come up with the term microvisor?
So Nano Server runs Hyper-V, and your applications run on Hyper-V, in virtual machines or in the new Hyper-V containers – and that's all installed and managed and even debugged remotely, Neil emphasised, which again reduces what's in Nano.
My hope is that glassware is the Hyper-V container.
Replace "then" for "to" in my question. I wish Ihub had mobile edit.
I don't see the Docker container and the Hyper-V container being talked about in the same manner. Also the article is calling calling Hyper-V the NEW Hyper-V container. I take this as very different container compared to Docker.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=u-gzVZ2yEYvUsAXngoHoCg&url=http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/how-windows-server-is-changing-to-better-match-cloud-app-development-1290972&ved=0CCkQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNFM9SxCCpDR0pWe4gttFUeFDUtRZQ
The key thing for us was to make sure it runs Hyper-V, because we want to be able to use that as the base operating system."
"Containers at the OS layer make that abstraction further up the stack. Instead of instructing at the disk block level, it's at the file level. Instead of being at the packet level, it's at the network interface. The advantage is that being further up the stack provides the ability to share more resources between containers. The Hyper-V container is a blend [of those].
My question without being announced yet does anyone see Hyper-V as completely different then Docker?
With nothing announced, one can only speculate. But after reading the #1 sounds like the nano was or is being built around glassware. When their talking scalability, containerization and a stripped down O/S - it doesn't leave much left for my imagination. Patience, patience, patience. When I run across an article I'll usually just post it and let the reader decide if it applies. I believe this article applies.
