Summary

In this chapter, we covered a lot to create the basics of the SharePoint platform. We learned about creating VMs and configuring the host to support the SharePoint resources supporting the platform. We also covered the differences between operating systems and how they have changed over the years in terms of features and support of the environment. Make sure that you understand these details because they will tailor the way that your environment is configured and managed going forward.

Do not under resource your host or VM servers. Make sure you have plenty of disk space and memory to support the environment. Also, remember that dynamic memory is not supported on SharePoint servers. This has changed since the Distributed Cache service was introduced. If you call for Microsoft support, they will not support you with VMs configured in this manner. Don't make mistakes from the beginning. With the low cost of server components, this should not be a limitation any more.
