Hoy quería compartir con ustedes toda esta lista de tools para nuestros entornos virtuales en Hyper-V. Muchos son conocidos, otros no tanto, pero todos son muy útiles y nos ayudaran en nuestras tareas diarias con nuestros entornos virtualizados.

Para aquellos que recién empiezan, les recuerdo que Hyper-V es freature de virtualización basado en un hipervisor. La versión actual de Hyper-V, incluida en Windows Server 2012 R2 como rol de servidor, agregó mejoras y nuevas funcionalidades como Live Migration, almacenamiento en máquinas virtuales dinámicas, y compatibilidad mejorada con procesadores y redes. Les recomiendo ver el tag Hyper-V, o realizar una búsqueda en el blog para mayor información.

Espero les sea de interes y les sirva en sus tareas diarias. La semana proxima estare publicando un video sobre Windows Server 2012 R2. Saludos, Roberto Di Lello.
