RAS Gateway - Multitenant. You can deploy RAS Gateway as a multitenant, software-based edge gateway and router when you are using Hyper-V Network Virtualization or you have VM networks deployed with virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). With the RAS Gateway, Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Enterprises can enable datacenter and cloud network traffic routing between virtual and physical networks, including the Internet. With the RAS Gateway, your tenants can use point-so-site VPN connections to access their VM network resources in the datacenter from anywhere. You can also provide tenants with site-to-site VPN connections between their remote sites and your CSP datacenter. In addition, you can configure the RAS Gateway with BGP for dynamic routing, and you can enable Network Address Translation (NAT) to provide Internet access for VMs on VM networks. References:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/networking/remote-access/remote-access

Using Windows PowerShell, the REST API, or a management application, you can use Network Controller to manage the following physical and virtual network infrastructure:* Datacenter Firewall This Network Controller feature allows you to configure and manage allow/deny firewall Access Control rules for your workload VMs for both East/West and North/South network traffic in your datacenter. The firewall rules are plumbed in the vSwitch port of workload VMs, and so they are distributed across your workload in the datacenter. Using the Northbound API, you can define the firewall rules for both incoming and outgoing traffic from the workload VM. You can also configure each firewall rule to log the traffic that was allowed or denied by the rule. * Hyper-V VMs and virtual switches * Remote Access Service (RAS) Multitenant Gateways, Virtual Gateways, and gateway pools * Load Balancers References:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn859239.aspxhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/sdn/technologies/network-controller/network-controller

Receive Side Scaling (RSS) helps improve network throughput by distributing the load of network I/O across multiple CPUs rather than using only one. The Set-NetAdapterRss cmdlet sets the receive side scaling (RSS) properties on a network adapter. RSS is a scalability technology that distributes the receive network traffic among multiple processors by hashing the header of the incoming packet. Without RSS Windows Server 2012/2016; network traffic is received on the first processor which can quickly reach full utilization limiting receive network throughput. Many properties can be configured using the parameters to optimize the performance of RSS. The selection of the processors to use for RSS is an important aspect of load balancing. Most of the parameters for this cmdlet help to determine the processors used by RSS.

You can configure NIC teaming in the Guest OS; however, before NIC teaming will work in a virtual machine, you need to enable NIC teaming in the Advanced Features section of the VM settings.

When an operator executes docker run, the container process that runs is isolated in that it has its own file system, its own networking, and its own isolated process tree separate from the host. The basic docker run command takes this form:$ docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE[:TAG|@DIGEST] [COMMAND] [ARG...]

1. (A): The container feature needs to be enabled before working with Windows containers. To do so run the following command in an elevated PowerShell session.Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName containers –All 2. (B): Docker is required in order to work with Windows containers.Note: First install the OneGet PowerShell module.Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery –Force Next you use OneGet to install the latest version of Docker. Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider 3. (C): Install Base Container ImagesWindows containers are deployed from templates or images. Before a container can be deployed, a container base OS image needs to be downloaded. The following commands will download the Nano Server base image. Pull the Nano Server base image. docker pull microsoft/nanoserver

If the container host is virtualized, and you wish to use DHCP for IP assignment, you must enable MACAddressSpoofing. PS C:\> Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName ContainerHostVM | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -MacAddressSpoofing OnThe command needs to be run on the Hyper-V host.

Configure Docker with Configuration File The preferred method for configuring the Docker Engine on Windows is using a configuration file. The configuration file can be found at 'c:\ProgramData\docker\config\daemon.json'.Only the desired configuration changes need to be added to the configuration file. For example, this sample configures the Docker Engine to accept incoming connections on port 64500. All other configuration options will use default values. {      "hosts": ["tcp://0.0.0.0:64500"]} References: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/docker/configure_docker_daemon

Do you have a large number of virtualized workloads in your cluster? Have you been looking for a solution that allows you to detect if any of the virtualized workloads in your cluster are behaving abnormally? Would you like the cluster service to take recovery actions when these workloads are in an unhealthy state? In Windows Server 2012/2016, there is a great new feature, in Failover Clustering called “VM Monitoring”, which does exactly that – it allows you monitor the health state of applications that are running within a virtual machine and then reports that to the host level so that it can take recovery actions. VM Monitoring can be easily configured using the Failover Cluster Manager through the following steps:Right click on the Virtual Machine role on which you want to configure monitoring Select “More Actions” and then the “Configure Monitoring” options You will then see a list of services that can be configured for monitoring using the Failover Cluster Manager. References: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/clustering/2012/04/18/how-to-configure-vm-monitoring-in-windows-server-2012/
