Microsoft Hyper-V

Microsoft Hyper-V is a platform for virtualization that is based on a hypervisor. This platform enables the creation and management of multiple virtual machines on a single physical host. It comes as a feature in Microsoft Windows Server and Windows 10 and can also be obtained separately as Microsoft Hyper-V Server. The hypervisor, which is the layer that lies between the hardware of the physical host and the virtual machines, allows several virtual machines to share the physical resources of the host, such as storage, memory, and the CPU, while also ensuring their isolation from one another. Hyper-V provides various tools and features that facilitate the management of virtual machines and guarantee their performance and availability.

Hyper-V is integrated with Windows Server, allowing you to manage virtual machines along with physical infrastructure from a single console. This integration also enables features such as live migration and high availability. Hyper-V can scale to support a large number of virtual machines on a single host, making it suitable for both small and large environments.

Pros:

• Providing a seamless virtualization experience for Windows-based workloads.
• Including a range of management features

Con: It may require additional licensing fees for some users, depending on their usage and needs.
