If you are in search for something to read – there are two new Hyper-V books, written by my MVP colleagues, that I can recommend.
The first one is called Hyper-V Best Practices, written by Benedict Berger (Microsoft MVP), and it covers… well… best practices with Hyper-V.
By reading this book, you’ll learn:
- Install Hyper-V and virtual machines automated through PowerShell
- Create High Availability solutions with failover clustering
- Protect from disasters with Hyper-V Replica
- Utilize the performance and scalability of storage virtualization
- Build a flexible network infrastructure without physical boundaries
- Design performance measurement and tuning action plans
- Manage your Hyper-V stack with System Center
- Move existing virtualization workloads to Hyper-V

The second book is called Hyper-V Security, written by Eric Siron and Andy Syrewicze (Microsoft MVP).
By reading this one, you’ll learn:
- Defend the network and disk resources that Hyper-V relies on
- Control access to Hyper-V, both locally and remotely
- Automate security policies using Group Policy
- Leverage Hyper-V’s isolation features to protect services while still providing necessary access to resources
- Combine Hyper-V with external technologies to provide a strong defense-in-depth system
- Identify and explain security needs to organization officials reluctant to provide proper funding
- Protect your virtual infrastructure when System Center VMM is present
- Make management of multiple on-premise private clouds and Azure-based public clouds more secure with App Controller
