Hyper-V Virtualization in Windows Server 2022

Hyper-V is Microsoft’s hardware virtualization product. It allows you to create and run a software version of a computer, called a virtual machine (VM). Each VM acts like a complete computer, running an operating system and programs.

In an enterprise environment, Hyper-V allows you to consolidate multiple server roles onto a single physical server hardware, improving resource utilization and providing better management and isolation.

Installing the Hyper-V Role

Before you can create virtual machines, you must install the Hyper-V role on your Windows Server.
