What is a Virtual Machine?

• Definition A virtual machine (VM) is an
  emulation of a physical computer that runs an
  operating system and applications.
• Key Points
• Acts like a physical computer but is
  software-based.
• Runs on a hypervisor, which manages multiple VMs
  on a single physical machine.

Introduction to Windows Virtual Machines

• Definition A Windows Virtual Machine is a VM
  running a Microsoft Windows operating system.
• Key Points
• Offers the same functionality as a physical
  Windows computer.
• Used for development, testing, and production
  environments.

Hypervisors for Windows VMs

• Key Points
• Type 1 Hypervisors Run directly on hardware
  (e.g., Microsoft Hyper-V).
• Type 2 Hypervisors Run on a host OS (e.g.,
  VMware Workstation, Virtual Box).
• Microsoft Hyper-V Built-in hypervisor in Windows
  Server and Pro editions.

5
Benefits of Using Windows VMs

• Scalability Easily create and manage multiple
  instances.
• Cost Efficiency Reduce hardware costs by running
  multiple VMs on one physical server.
• Isolation Separate environments for different
  applications or users.
• Disaster Recovery VMs can be easily backed up
  and restored.

6
Use Cases for Windows VMs

• Development Testing Safely test software in
  isolated environments.
• Legacy Applications Run older Windows
  applications that aren't compatible with newer
  systems.
• Training Education Provide students with
  sandboxed environments.
• Cloud Deployments Utilize in cloud platforms
  like Azure for scalable solutions.

7
Managing Windows VMs

• Tools
• Windows Admin Centre Centralized management for
  Windows VMs.
• Azure Portal Manage cloud-based Windows VMs.
• PowerShell Automate VM tasks with scripts.
• Monitoring Importance of tracking performance,
  updates, and security.

8
Security Considerations

• Key Points
• Updates Regularly update VMs to patch
  vulnerabilities.
• Network Security Use firewalls and network
  segmentation.
• Backup Recovery Implement robust backup
  strategies.
• Access Controls Limit access to VM management
  interfaces.
