Hello there, and welcome to Pluralsight!
Welcome to the course Windows Server 2022: Manage
Virtual Machines and Containers.
This is the first of five modules in the course,
and its title is Configure Hyper‑V.
My name is Tim Warner.
I'm happy to be your instructor, as always.
In this first module, we have a number of Exam AZ‑800 exam objectives to cover.
We're going to learn how to enable VM enhanced session mode,
configure nested virtualization, configure VM memory,
and manage virtual machines using PowerShell Remoting,
PowerShell Direct, and HVC.exe.
Now you might be thinking, whoa, we're just jumping right into the deep end?
Fortunately or unfortunately,
the coverage of Hyper‑V on Exam AZ‑800 deals with these kinds of details.
However,
I'm going to give a global treatment of Hyper‑V in this lesson
because I'm that kind of instructor. Let's proceed.
This course is entitled Manage Virtual Machines and
Containers, and as I mentioned,
it consists of five modules. The one we're doing now
I've called Configure Hyper‑V.
The next module is called Manage Hyper‑V. Again,
it's just basically a basket load of Hyper‑V features that you have to
know for your exam success. Then there's Administer Hyper‑V Guest VMs,
Create and Manage Containers, and lastly, Manage Azure VMs that run
Windows Server. By the end of this course,
you'll definitely have all of those related exam
concepts under your belt, and who knows,
maybe you'll improve your Hyper‑V management skills.
That's certainly my goal. We're covering in this course and as part of
our larger skill path all the objectives on the Windows Server Hybrid
Administrator Associate certification.
Now I've created separate introduction videos for both Exam AZ‑800 and 801,
so I'm not going to belabor the point,
but in case you haven't seen those introduction courses, to earn
your Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate,
you have to clear not only the exam that we're covering now, AZ‑800 entitled
Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure,
but you also need to clear AZ‑801, Configuring Windows
Server Hybrid Advanced Services.
I've designed and delivered all of the courses in this skill
path, so I think that's to your advantage,
at least if you like me as an instructor, because you're going to get a
consistent treatment of all of those exam objectives.
Note that you can clear 800 or 801 in any order,
it doesn't matter which one you do first,
but you won't earn your Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate
badge until you've passed the second of those exams.
You should also know that once you earn your badge, it will have a
one‑year validity, and the renewal process takes place at Microsoft
Learn, and it's a free renewal process.
Check the exercise files for more info if you're not familiar.
I always want to make sure, speaking of exercise files, to let you
know where to get them if you're new to Pluralsight. You need to
be on the full web player for that.
You'll go to the Exercise files tab and then click Download exercise files.
This will bring down a .zip archive that will contain a
folder for each module in the course.
In each module folder,
there will be a PDF version of my slide deck, as well
as one or more reference files.
You'll find a links list that contains references that relate to the
training, and then in this course in particular, you'll find some script
files and template files that I use in my demo.
I suggest you use Visual Studio Code, but your mileage may vary. You may like another code editor.
