Re: Hyper-V Server 2022
SpenceFoxtrot We looked into XCP-NG and Proxmox to replace our Hyper-V Server usage, and found the following two missing features at this point in time: Support for more recent products / features e.g. Docker, WSL 2, Microsoft Connected Cache / EFLOW (the new WSUS https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/do/waas-microsoft-connected-cache, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/azure-iot-edge-for-linux-on-windows), and Virtualization-based security (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/device-guard/enable-virtualization-based-protection-of-code-integrity) all of which require Nested Virtualization support. We found that support for this is patchy at best in XCP-NG and Proxmox https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/4643/nested-virtualization-of-windows-hyper-v-on-xcp-ng https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/nested-virtualization-gpu-passthrough-causes-vm-crashes-bluescreens.119564/ and currently has issues like only supporting AMD or Intel CPUs which are ‘very recent’ properly, blue screens and performance issues. We didn't see evidence that resolving these issues was easy or considered a priority by the community, and since Docker is definitely the future for any server apps, this seemed pretty worrying. Full support for full disk encryption (i.e. BitLocker) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/bitlocker/bitlocker-overview which is included in Hyper-V Server but an outstanding issue for both XCP-NG https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/463 and Proxmox If you don't care about future-proofing support for nested virtualisation / Docker and/or encryption, you may find that XCP-NG/Proxmox are perfect for your needs.6.1KViews1like0Comments
