Chapter 8. Building Hyper-V High Availability and Virtual Machine Mobility

In this chapter we will have discussions related to Hyper-V high availability and virtual machine mobility, and we will see how we can make our Hyper-V virtual workloads highly available as per downtime. We will also see how we can migrate these virtual resources between Hyper-V hosts without affecting the virtual machine availability.

So far in this book, we have completed seven chapters, and in these seven chapters, we have gone through different architectural and best practices that make sure our virtualized critical workloads and other components related to Hyper-V are configured and working. But any hypervisor product with a single point of failure can cause serious damage to your virtualized critical systems, where corruption of a single-server OS with no high availability can bring down all your virtual machines. Setting up high availability and virtual machine mobility becomes more critical when you start migrating...
