Nano server windows 2016

Microsoft Nano servers

Windows Server 2016 is an upcoming server operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, developed concurrently with Windows 10. The first early preview version (Technical Preview) became available on 1 October 2014 together with the first technical preview of System Center,^[2] and is currently in public beta testing. The final release date for the server is expected to be in Q3 2016, that is, not released simultaneously with the client operating system Windows 10 as was the case with the last three operating system releases.

Microsoft announced a new installation option, Nano Server, a minimal footprint installation option of Windows Server. It excludes the graphical user interface, WoW64 (support for 32-bit software) and Windows Installer. It does not support console logon, neither locally nor via Remote Desktop Connection. All management is performed remotely via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and PowerShell. Microsoft engineer Jeffrey Snover claims that Nano Server had 93 percent lower VHD size, 92 percent fewer critical security advisories, and 80 percent fewer reboots than Windows Server.

A Nano Server is meant to perform one task.

Of course this raises the question of how to configure application servers, since some applications have numerous dependencies. SharePoint, for example, depends on SQL Server, IIS and the .NET Framework.

Nano Servers are not intended to replace every VM in your organization. They are primarily intended for use as infrastructure servers (DNS, DHCP and so on). Applications cannot run on Nano Servers.

The Software-Defined Data Center

Software-Defined Architectures That Deliver Impact Today a software-defined architecture leverages logical infrastructure services that are abstracted from, as opposed to integrated with, the underlying hardware. Several of today’s largest technology companies in the Internet and social network space leverage this approach to drive aggressive cost savings and improve manageability for certain types of workloads. These hyperscale architectures use commodity hardware components, which are then combined with proprietary technologies such as custom applications, platforms, and containers. The final service. For example, social media and proprietary public cloud service—is then provided to customers. However, for the SDDC to be most applicable to enterprises, it must meet four key requirements—key pillars of the VMware architecture for the SDDC: First, it must run traditional applications, without re-architecting them, in addition to cloud-native applications. Second, it must enable ...

Reconnect of Vcenter which enabled a re synch with Vcloud,

This may be an indicator of Vcloud DB performance issues and I would recommend performing some clean up of both Vcenter and Vcloud DB's. Befroe running any of these procedures please make a back up of your DB Vcenter DB Maintenance Run this on all Vcenter Instances 1. Stop the vCenter Server Service 2. Stop the vCloud Cell Services for all Cells (Service vmware-vcd stop) 3. Run the following against the vCenter DB: ALTER TABLE VPX_EVENT_ARG DROP CONSTRAINT FK_VPX_EVENT_ARG_REF_EVENT; ALTER TABLE VPX_EVENT_ARG DROP CONSTRAINT FK_VPX_EVENT_ARG_REF_ENTITY; ALTER TABLE VPX_ENTITY_LAST_EVENT DROP CONSTRAINT FK_VPX_LAST_EVENT_EVENT; truncate table VPX_TASK; truncate table VPX_ENTITY_LAST_EVENT; truncate table VPX_EVENT; truncate table VPX_EVENT_ARG; alter table VPX_EVENT_ARG add constraint FK_VPX_EVENT_ARG_REF_EVENT foreign key(EVENT_ID) references VPX_EVENT (EVENT_ID) on delete cascade; alter table VPX_EVENT_ARG add constraint FK_VPX_EVENT_ARG_REF_ENTITY foreign key (OBJ_TYPE) refe...

An Introduction to Kubernetes

Introduction Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications. The open source project is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ( CNCF ). we'll discuss some of Kubernetes' basic concepts. We will talk about the architecture of the system, the problems it solves, and the model that it uses to handle containerized deployments and scaling. What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes , at its basic level, is a system for running and coordinating containerized applications across a cluster of machines. It is a platform designed to completely manage the life cycle of containerized applications and services using methods that provide predictability, scalability, and high availability. as a Kubernetes user, you can define how your applications should run and the ways they should be able to interact with other applicatio...
