7. Fabric Management
Update Management of Fabric Servers
– Update operation control (On-demand scan and on-demand
remediation)
– Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated
– Integrated with Windows Server Update Server
Dynamic Optimization (DO)
– Cluster level workload balancing scheme to optimize for VM
performance
– Leverages live migration to move workloads
Power Optimization (PO)
– Leverages live migration to pack more VMs per host
– Powers down servers to optimize for power utilization
Enhanced Placement
– Over 100 placement checks/validation
– Support for custom placement rules
– Multi-VM deployment for Services

8. Service Lifecycle Management
Service Templates
– Used to model a multi-tier application
– Source of truth for deployed service configuration
Applications
– Built-in support for Web deploy, Server App-V, SQL DAC
– Custom command execution for other application
packages
Image-based
– OS separated from apps
– Composed during deployment
Servicing
– Change the template and then apply that change to
deployed instances
– Upgrade domains ensures application availability during
servicing
