Question of the Day:
Q: My customer is in the process of digital transformation. They are modernizing their apps and infrastructure. Many apps are moving to Azure and many apps need to stay on-premises. For the app that need to stay on-premises, my customer is looking for information about Windows Server 2019. They are interested in a high-level summary, features, functionality (app dev, containers, hybrid scenarios, security, etc.) and when Windows Server v.Next is anticipated. Do we have anything that I can share with them?
A: Yes. There are numerous public resources available. The best thing to do would be to start by watching the two Ignite sessions below. They provide a great foundation and cover everything you’re asking below and more and filled with compelling demos. The first session provides a high level overview and the deep dive builds on this and goes further. If your customer wants to dive in deeper and read the docs, links to the Windows Server docs are below.
